When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

FAQs for Newton-on-Ouse

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you come to Newton-on-Ouse?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Newton-on-Ouse. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

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.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

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

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Newton-on-Ouse. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What affects the price in Newton-on-Ouse

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • Access to the area

The process

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
