Islip: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Do you come to Islip?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Islip for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

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

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  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

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

What affects the price in Islip

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Islip. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Islip

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
