DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Somerwood: your questions answered

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How much does bath resealing cost in Somerwood?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you cover the entire of Shropshire?

We work UK-wide, so Somerwood is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes around two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

What affects the price in Somerwood

We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Somerwood. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

For a price in Somerwood, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
