South Street questions

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you cover South Street?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to South Street for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Are there extra charges for South Street?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Bath resealing in South Street, done in place

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are sealant that’s split or lifting and water getting behind the bath or tray.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What affects the price in South Street

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Let steam out after showers

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

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 will reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in South Street

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
