What affects the price in Tedburn St Mary

We don’t charge extra for travel to Tedburn St Mary. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Tedburn St Mary. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Bath resealing in Tedburn St Mary without replacing anything

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and people most often call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and sealant that’s split or lifting.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When to call us in Tedburn St Mary

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Tedburn St Mary questions

Is there a call-out fee?

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

How long will it take?

Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.

How much does bath resealing cost in Tedburn St Mary?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Usually because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Landlord and trade work in Tedburn St Mary

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

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

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
