For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Do you need bath resealing in Bottom of Woodhouses?

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black mould in the sealant

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

We don’t charge extra for travel to Bottom of Woodhouses. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. 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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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