Common questions in Wimpole

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take around two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wimpole

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How we price bath resealing

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most clients in Wimpole get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

Do you need bath resealing in Wimpole?

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
