For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Armthorpe as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For anyone letting property in or around Armthorpe, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

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

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  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

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Common questions in Armthorpe

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you cover the entire of Doncaster?

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How long before I can shower?

Normally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What affects the price in Armthorpe

There’s no charge for travel to Armthorpe. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
