North Gosforth: your questions answered

Do you work in North Gosforth?

We do. Repair technicians travel to North Gosforth from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Landlords, agents and businesses in North Gosforth

If you manage property in North Gosforth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes around two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in North Gosforth, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Air the room after use

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

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

What bath resealing costs

There is no charge for travel to North Gosforth. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for North Gosforth. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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