Common questions in Ide
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you cover the entire of Devon?
Everywhere in the UK, Ide included. Travel is included in the price.
Do you work in Ide?
We do. We send a technician to Ide for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
When to call us in Ide
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps by the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
What bath resealing costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 it’s worth resealing in Ide
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Ide. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Everything repaired in place
- Same prices wherever you are
- One visit for most repairs
