Plumpton Green questions

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are there extra charges for Plumpton Green?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Stained silicone

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes around two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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