FAQs for Ipsden

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do you work in Ipsden?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Ipsden from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Bath resealing in Ipsden without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and mould you can’t clean out, we can typically put it right, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size

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.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Air the room after use
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Ipsden, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What we are called out for in Ipsden

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Unsealed corners

Before you book anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How soon you can use it again
