What affects the price in Shotteswell

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

About our bath resealing in Shotteswell

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and black mould in the sealant, in kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Use the extractor fan

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Shotteswell

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

What we work on

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

Questions from Shotteswell

Which areas do you work in?

All of Northamptonshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
