Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Child Okeford

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

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

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep the joints dry

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

How we price bath resealing

We charge the same across the UK, including Child Okeford. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most customers in Child Okeford get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
