Prices and what affects them

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath resealing in Longdon

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • 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 before booking.

What we work on

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

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through 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.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Why it’s worth resealing in Longdon

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Do you need bath resealing in Longdon?

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
