Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DL13 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Bath resealing in Ireshopeburn without replacing anything

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Common call-outs are for missing sealant behind the taps and leaks at the edges, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hidden water damage
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Ireshopeburn

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

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

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

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Ireshopeburn, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Common questions in Ireshopeburn

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How do I book?

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

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you cover the entire of County Durham?

All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

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.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
