Resealing in Shirehampton: why it matters

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

10 questions to ask before you book

FAQs for Shirehampton

Do you cover Shirehampton?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Shirehampton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Are there extra charges for Shirehampton?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Hollow or loose tiles

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Shirehampton

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

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What bath resealing costs

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BS11 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take around two hours.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
