Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Air the room after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What affects the price in Boreham

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you’re in Boreham and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

Common questions in Boreham

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you work in Boreham?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Boreham and the rest of Essex. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray
