Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Prices and what affects them

There is no charge for travel to Higher Wheelton. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Your questions about bath resealing in Higher Wheelton

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Higher Wheelton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
