What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

Materials we repair

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

About our bath resealing in Port William

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We’re frequently asked to fix unsealed corners and stained silicone, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes around two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Why it’s worth resealing in Port William

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Landlord and trade work in Port William

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

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.

When to call us in Port William

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Common reasons people in Port William contact us are:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before booking

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Common questions in Port William

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
