What affects the price in Whittonstall

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Questions from Whittonstall

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take around two hours.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Resealing in Whittonstall: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

10 questions to ask before you book

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

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.

Landlord and trade work in Whittonstall

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
