Common problems we fix in Irchester

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Damp near the bath
  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Mould you cannot clean out

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What affects the price in Irchester

We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Irchester, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Common questions in Irchester

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Irchester?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Irchester included. There is no extra charge for travel.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can landlords book you?

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

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
