DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Bath resealing at your home in Parkstone

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include old sealant that looks dirty and silicone coming away from the tiles, in basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Why it’s worth resealing in Parkstone

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units

  • An untidy old seal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Gaps by the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Questions from Parkstone

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What areas do you cover?

All of Poole, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
