Common problems we fix in Lower Swanwick

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

The things clients generally mention when they call include:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Stained silicone
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Gaps by the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  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
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

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

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

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

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

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

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Let steam out after showers

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What affects the price in Lower Swanwick

There’s no charge for travel to Lower Swanwick. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

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

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you are in Lower Swanwick and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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