When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Paynter's Lane End

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What affects the price in Paynter's Lane End

There’s no charge for travel to Paynter's Lane End. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TR16 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

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

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Common problems we fix in Paynter's Lane End

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Damp near the bath
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

10 questions to ask before you book

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing 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.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
