10 questions to ask before booking

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Prices and what affects them

There’s no area surcharge for New Lane End. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Air the room after use

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, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Common questions in New Lane End

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

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

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
