How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep the joints dry

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Can I fix it myself?

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Wall End

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

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wall End use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

When to call us in Wall End

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Questions from Wall End

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Wall End.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
