Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Open a window after bathing

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What we’re called out for in Hoften's Cross

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Unsealed corners
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you’re in Hoften's Cross and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What do you need from me?
