Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Bath resealing in Portincaple, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include leaks at the edges and mould you can’t clean out, in basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Keep the joints dry

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What bath resealing costs

There’s no charge for travel to Portincaple. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your G84 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

Resealing in Portincaple: why it matters

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Portincaple. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Portincaple: your questions answered

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you cover the entire of Argyll and Bute?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Portincaple

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Portincaple use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Unsealed corners
  • Leaks at the edges
