Common problems we fix in Saltersgill

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Unsealed corners
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Leaks at the edges

Before booking anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What affects the price in Saltersgill

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Questions from Saltersgill

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do I have to be there?

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

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Saltersgill as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
