Upper Hoyland: your questions answered

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How long before I can shower?

Generally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Keep the joints dry

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves 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 around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Common problems we fix in Upper Hoyland

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • An untidy old seal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Comparing quotes

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

How we price bath resealing

We charge the same across the UK, including Upper Hoyland. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
