10 questions to ask before booking

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What bath resealing costs

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Air the room after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Use the extractor fan

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Questions from Trumpington

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Are there extra charges for Trumpington?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
