Questions from Shawforth

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

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

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Open a window after bathing

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

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

What bath resealing costs

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  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

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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