Common questions in Stone Cross

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Stone Cross?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Bath resealing in Stone Cross, done in place

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. If you are dealing with discoloured, yellow sealant and leaks at the edges, we can generally put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Common problems we fix in Stone Cross

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Damp near the bath

Questions to ask before you book

  • What aftercare is recommended

  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before you book

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Landlord and trade work in Stone Cross

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stone Cross as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes around two hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
