You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

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

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Sunny Hill

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Common reasons people in Sunny Hill contact us are:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps in the seal
  • A messy previous reseal

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Aftercare advice
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Sunny Hill

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Sunny Hill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, 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.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

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

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
