Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Horam, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How we handle bath resealing in Horam

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We regularly repair baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are damp near the bath and gaps by the taps.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Your questions about bath resealing in Horam

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Horam.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Everything repaired in place

See our prices page.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

When to call us in Horam

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Comparing quotes

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
