Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Movement in the bath or tray

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

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

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

Strachur questions

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Landlord and trade work in Strachur

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Argyll and Bute and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One price list for the entire UK
