Prices and what affects them

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

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How we handle bath resealing in Londonthorpe

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about damp near the bath and mould you can’t clean out.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Signs you need bath resealing in Londonthorpe

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

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • When it can be used again
  • How changes to the job are handled

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Air the room after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Your questions about bath resealing in Londonthorpe

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do the materials smell?

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

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Londonthorpe

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

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