Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Bath resealing in Symington without replacing anything

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and gaps by the taps, we can usually put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Signs you need bath resealing in Symington

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Symington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Symington customers choose us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Symington: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

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

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
