Landlords, agents and businesses in Balby

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How we handle bath resealing in Balby

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Common call-outs are for an untidy old seal and stained silicone, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Questions from Balby

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

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

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you come to Balby?

We do. We send a technician to Balby for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Why it’s worth resealing in Balby

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Balby. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our prices page.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Advice

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

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

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
