Prices and what affects them

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Bath resealing at your home in Whipsiderry

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are stained silicone and black spots in the silicone.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

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

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
