Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in London Colney

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Your questions about bath resealing in London Colney

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is there a guarantee?

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

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

All of Hertfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
