Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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

How we handle bath resealing in Stenness

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath or tray and an untidy old seal, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we cannot put right

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

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Stenness

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Resealing in Stenness: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

What affects the price in Stenness

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Stenness, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Signs you need bath resealing in Stenness

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Stained silicone
  • Damp near the bath

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • If travel is included in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stenness

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Stenness: your questions answered

Do you work in Stenness?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Stenness. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will there be a smell?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
