Upper Saltonstall questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your HX2 postcode.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Bath resealing in Upper Saltonstall without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and unsealed corners, we can typically put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

When to call us in Upper Saltonstall

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Damp near the bath
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Upper Saltonstall

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath

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

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
