Questions from Watermill

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Are you accredited?

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

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

How long does a reseal take?

Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Are there extra charges for Watermill?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Bath resealing in Watermill, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We are frequently asked to fix discoloured, yellow sealant and a messy previous reseal, across kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  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. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TN39 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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

What affects the price in Watermill

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Landlord and trade work in Watermill

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Watermill as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Open a window after bathing

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

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

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hidden water damage

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