Kirtlington questions

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kirtlington

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

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.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What affects the price in Kirtlington

We do not charge extra for travel to Kirtlington. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

What we are called out for in Kirtlington

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Stained silicone
  • Black spots in the silicone

Comparing quotes

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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