For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brunswick as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Prices and what affects them

We do not charge extra for travel to Brunswick. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most clients in Brunswick get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to around two hours, including clearing up.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  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. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

Sinks and worktops

Baths

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

FAQs for Brunswick

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How long does a reseal take?

Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Why it’s worth resealing in Brunswick

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
