Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Bath resealing in Margaretting Tye without replacing anything

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We regularly repair wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are a messy previous reseal and discoloured, yellow sealant.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

FAQs for Margaretting Tye

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CM4 postcode.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How long does resealing take?

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

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Landlord and trade work in Margaretting Tye

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

If you manage property in Margaretting Tye, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Common problems we fix in Margaretting Tye

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Questions to ask before you book

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What preparation is included

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take around two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any 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 run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
