Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Prices and what affects them

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When to call us in Shipley Bridge

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Stained silicone
  • An untidy old seal

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shipley Bridge

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

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

Shipley Bridge questions

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is my repair covered?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Shipley Bridge.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you cover the entire of Surrey?

The whole UK, including all of Surrey. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

How to care for the repair

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

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

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

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
