Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
How easy the damage is to reach
The type of damage
Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The postcode, so we can plan the visit
What it’s made of, if you know

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SW8 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Bath resealing in Kennington without replacing anything

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you’re dealing with gaps by the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Questions from Kennington

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.

Are there extra charges for Kennington?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you come to Kennington?

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

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

Hidden water damage
Hollow or loose tiles
A flexing bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
