Common questions in Nancledra

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Bath resealing in Nancledra, done in place

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and missing sealant behind the taps, across kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Resealing in Nancledra: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our pricing.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

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

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

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When to call us in Nancledra

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Look out for these signs:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • An untidy old seal

Before you book anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
