How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Air the room after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf

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 will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Why it’s worth resealing in Little Benton

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our prices page.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Baths

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

What affects the price in Little Benton

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back

Most clients in Little Benton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common questions in Little Benton

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Do the materials smell?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Little Benton?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Common problems we fix in Little Benton

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Damp near the bath

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before booking

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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