What affects the price in Scholes

We do not charge extra for travel to Scholes. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How we handle bath resealing in Scholes

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. If you are dealing with black mould in the sealant and a messy previous reseal, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Do you need bath resealing in Scholes?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Damp near the bath
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black mould in the sealant

How to compare quotes

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Resealing in Scholes: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Take a look at our prices page.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Scholes questions

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Rotherham, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How long before I can shower?

Normally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Are there extra charges for Scholes?

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

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you come to Scholes?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Scholes from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath.

  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. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Scholes use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
