Questions from Royal Oak
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Do you come to Royal Oak?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Royal Oak from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Royal Oak?
We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Prices and what affects them
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes about two hours for a bath. We leave the room clean.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Royal Oak
If you manage property in Royal Oak, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
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.
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Movement in the bath or tray
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. 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.
