Questions from Sticklepath

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Is it messy?

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

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Bath resealing in Sticklepath without replacing anything

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. If you are dealing with gaps in the seal and old sealant that looks dirty, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Sticklepath as everywhere else we work.

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Sticklepath. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Sticklepath

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sticklepath use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

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

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our full price list.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a couple of hours. 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. 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

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Signs you need bath resealing in Sticklepath

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
