Chard questions

Can landlords book you?

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

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Chard and the rest of Somerset. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Generally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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.

How we price bath resealing

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Resealing in Chard: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why Chard clients choose us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

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

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

What we work on

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

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chard

For anyone letting property in or around Chard, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
