About our bath resealing in Shipton Gorge

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with gaps by the taps and gaps in the seal, we can help.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Shipton Gorge as everywhere else we work.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Shipton Gorge

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Leaks at the edges

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How changes to the job are handled

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a couple of 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. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Air the room after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Shipton Gorge questions

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is there any odour?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
