Questions from Widegates

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

What do you need from me?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

About our bath resealing in Widegates

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include silicone coming away from the tiles and an untidy old seal, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep the joints dry

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Widegates

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Do you need bath resealing in Widegates?

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Look out for these signs:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black spots in the silicone

Questions to ask before you book

  • How your room will be protected
  • When it can be used again
  • What preparation is included
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

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

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray

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

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Widegates

There is no area surcharge for Widegates. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
