How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Sherburn Hill questions

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Are there extra charges for Sherburn Hill?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Sherburn Hill?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What affects the price in Sherburn Hill

There’s no charge for travel to Sherburn Hill. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most clients in Sherburn Hill get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
