Settrington questions

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

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.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are there extra charges for Settrington?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How we handle bath resealing in Settrington

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are discoloured, yellow sealant and missing sealant behind the taps.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common problems we fix in Settrington

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Settrington use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Open a window after bathing

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes around two hours. 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. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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