Rush Green: your questions answered

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you come to Rush Green?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Rush Green for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow around two hours.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What affects the price in Rush Green

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we’re called out for in Rush Green

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • An untidy old seal

Before booking anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Aftercare advice
  • What preparation is included
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before booking

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A fixed quote before you book
