Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What bath resealing costs

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Rooks Bridge. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Resealing in Rooks Bridge: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Rooks Bridge questions

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

Do I have to be there?

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

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
