Horns Mill questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Are there extra charges for Horns Mill?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

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.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Resealing in Horns Mill: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Same prices wherever you are

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Common problems we fix in Horns Mill

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

  • Unsealed corners
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Questions to ask before you book

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
