Pytchley questions
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no area surcharge for Pytchley. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Let steam out after showers
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in Pytchley
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Pytchley, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
