Maryburgh: your questions answered

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time, normally around a day.

Common problems we fix in Maryburgh

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • An untidy old seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Damp near the bath

Before booking anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

How to care for the repair

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

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

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

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

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

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal 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 book with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our full price list.

What affects the price in Maryburgh

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Maryburgh. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Maryburgh

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

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes around two hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
