Prices and what affects them

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Loscoe questions

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Landlord and trade work in Loscoe

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Loscoe use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Common problems we fix in Loscoe

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Unsealed corners

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Resealing in Loscoe: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Loscoe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
