What affects the price in Stainsby

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your S44 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Bath resealing at your home in Stainsby

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you are dealing with gaps in the seal and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Questions from Stainsby

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you come to Stainsby?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Stainsby. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Signs you need bath resealing in Stainsby

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps by the taps

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Stainsby, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray

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