DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

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

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Summerston

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What bath resealing costs

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

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

Questions from Summerston

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How long before I can shower?

Normally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you cover Summerston?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Summerston and the rest of Glasgow. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
