Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A flexing bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common problems we fix in Sturton le Steeple

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • An untidy old seal

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What preparation is included
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Sturton le Steeple. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Can I fix it myself?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

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 generally cheaper.

Why it’s worth resealing in Sturton le Steeple

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
