Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common problems we fix in Ottringham

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Unsealed corners
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

Ottringham: your questions answered

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Do you work in Ottringham?

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

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours, tidy-up included.

  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. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

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

How to get a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Ottringham

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • The material

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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 quote, not a guess.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ottringham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
