Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we are called out for in Murdishaw

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Unsealed corners
  • An untidy old seal

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why Murdishaw customers choose us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Murdishaw questions

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

How long will it take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Do you come to Murdishaw?

We do. We send a technician to Murdishaw for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

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

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

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