DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Strangeways

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Strangeways, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Baths

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

Strangeways questions

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Typically because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Strangeways?

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

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray

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

What we work on

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

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

What affects the price in Strangeways

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
