What happens on the day

When we visit, 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 clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

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, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

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

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around Wareham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Why it’s worth resealing in Wareham

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our prices page.

Questions from Wareham

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do I have to be there?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
