Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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

Bath resealing in Birdham, done in place

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours. We’re often asked to fix gaps by the taps and stained silicone, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths.

Signs you need bath resealing in Birdham

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Let steam out after showers

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

FAQs for Birdham

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the curing time from us, usually around a day.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath

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

Materials we repair
