Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Little Longstone

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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

How we price bath resealing

We don’t charge extra for travel to Little Longstone. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Little Longstone: your questions answered

Do you work in Little Longstone?

We do. We send a technician to Little Longstone for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How long does a reseal take?

Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

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

Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

Materials we work on in Little Longstone

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Little Longstone

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Damp near the bath
  • Stained silicone
