Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Prices and what affects them

There is no area surcharge for King's Norton. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in King's Norton

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

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.

FAQs for King's Norton

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You will get the curing time from us, generally around a day.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Leicestershire.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you cover the entire of Leicestershire?

Everywhere in the UK, King's Norton included. Travel is included in the price.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
