Wainhouse Corner: your questions answered

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

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

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Why it’s worth resealing in Wainhouse Corner

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our pricing.

Prices and what affects them

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

When to call us in Wainhouse Corner

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • A messy previous reseal

Before you book anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
