Common questions in Over Knutsford

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can new silicone go over old?

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

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Over Knutsford included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Over Knutsford

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Over Knutsford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Why it’s worth resealing in Over Knutsford

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
