For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Barkston Ash, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No need to remove anything
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

See our prices page.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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

What affects the price in Barkston Ash

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
