Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Balivanich as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Bath resealing in Balivanich, done in place

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and people most frequently call us about old sealant that looks dirty and silicone smeared on tiles.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Balivanich

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

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 pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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

When to call us in Balivanich

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Leaks at the edges

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

  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.

Resealing in Balivanich: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our prices page.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

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

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Questions from Balivanich

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Are there extra charges for Balivanich?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I need to be at home?

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