Prices and what affects them

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

  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Puddletown

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

When to call us in Puddletown

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Store bottles on a shelf

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Resealing in Puddletown: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Is my repair covered?

Can tenants book a repair?

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

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
