What affects the price in Middleton

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your B78 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Bath resealing in Middleton without replacing anything

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are stained silicone and missing sealant behind the taps.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Middleton

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Let steam out after showers

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

Middleton questions

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What do you need from me?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Staffordshire.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take around two hours, including clearing up.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Why it’s worth resealing in Middleton

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

  • We leave the room as we found it
