Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Saxtead Green

  • Basins & vanity units

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

What we’re called out for in Saxtead 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.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Damp near the bath
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • An untidy old seal

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours, tidy-up included.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

What affects the price in Saxtead Green

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • The type of damage

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. 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.

Saxtead Green questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you cover Saxtead Green?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Saxtead Green. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
