Landlords, agents and businesses in Batham Gate

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Batham Gate use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

What affects the price in Batham Gate

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Batham Gate. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

Most clients in Batham Gate get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

When to call us in Batham Gate

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • An untidy old seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath

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

Materials we work on in Batham Gate

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