What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Warriston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Signs you need bath resealing in Warriston

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

What to look for in a quote

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Warriston

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes about two hours for a bath. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Resealing in Warriston: why it matters

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Warriston customers choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our full price list.

Can I fix it myself?

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

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Warriston questions

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How long does silicone take to cure?

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

Do you work in Warriston?

We do. Technicians travel to Warriston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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