When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hidden water damage
  • A flexing bath

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

Yanwath: your questions answered

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

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.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Yanwath.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Why it’s worth resealing in Yanwath

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

When to call us in Yanwath

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Stained silicone
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Gaps in the seal

Before booking anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  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. 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

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

There’s no area surcharge for Yanwath. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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.
