Landlord and trade work in Chipping

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lancashire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Questions from Chipping

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is my repair covered?

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

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Chipping and the rest of Lancashire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PR3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

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

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

Materials we work on in Chipping

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

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we’re called out for in Chipping

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

What bath resealing costs

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
