Asfordby questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Bath resealing in Asfordby without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We’re often asked to fix sealant that’s split or lifting and old sealant that looks dirty, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leicestershire.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Asfordby

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes around two hours. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  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. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

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

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Asfordby

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Asfordby

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

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

  • An untidy old seal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price bath resealing

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
