Landlord and trade work in Baldslow
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Baldslow use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Can I fix it myself?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Signs you need bath resealing in Baldslow
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Unsealed corners
- Gaps in the seal
- Black mould in the sealant
Rented homes near Ore station (about 2.3 miles south-east) change hands frequently, and repairing baths and showers between tenants is quicker than replacing them.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Replacement in Baldslow means trades, travel and waste removal, while bath resealing is one trip.
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What bath resealing costs
Quotes cost nothing and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up. For a rural address like Baldslow, we plan the journey in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. We bring everything needed for the bath resealing, so there is no second trip.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
