What affects the price in Platt's Heath

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  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. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Platt's Heath, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Signs you need bath resealing in Platt's Heath

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Stained silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Unsealed corners

10 questions to ask before you book

Platt's Heath: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Platt's Heath

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
