Storthes Hall questions

Can landlords book you?

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

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Do you cover Storthes Hall?

We do. We send a technician to Storthes Hall for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

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

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Signs you need bath resealing in Storthes Hall

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Damp near the bath
  • Unsealed corners
  • Gaps in the seal

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow around two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What affects the price in Storthes Hall

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Resealing in Storthes Hall: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
