Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it

- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Questions from Torbothie
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How long will it take?
Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Why reseal now?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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.
Do you need bath resealing in Torbothie?
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Unsealed corners
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Before you book anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What aftercare is recommended
- How changes to the job are handled
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep the joints dry
- Store bottles on a shelf
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Torbothie, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
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.
For anyone letting property in or around Torbothie, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
