FAQs for Poolfold

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you cover Poolfold?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Poolfold for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How much does bath resealing cost in Poolfold?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can I fix it myself?

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

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, then guarantee it for a year.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take around two hours.

  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. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Poolfold

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Poolfold, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Let steam out after showers

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

When to call us in Poolfold

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Stained silicone

Before booking anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage

Work for landlords and builders

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