Questions from Bures

Can landlords book you?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How long before I can shower?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

How we handle bath resealing in Bures

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and gaps in the seal.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Movement in the bath or tray

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

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  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

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Related advice

When to call us in Bures

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps in the seal

Comparing quotes

  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How to look after the finish
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bures

If you manage property in Bures, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What affects the price in Bures

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Resealing in Bures: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Bures clients choose us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
