Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

What affects the price in Lower Hirst

We charge the same across the UK, including Lower Hirst. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most customers in Lower Hirst get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Lower Hirst questions

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How long does a reseal take?

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

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Hidden water damage
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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

Materials we work on in Lower Hirst

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Lower Hirst

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Work done at your home or business

See our prices page.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

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

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. 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. 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. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
