Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Compton Valence use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

About our bath resealing in Compton Valence

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Typical jobs include water getting behind the bath or tray and gaps by the taps, in basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Compton Valence

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Gaps by the taps

Before you book anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Compton Valence. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back

If you’re in Compton Valence and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Common questions in Compton Valence

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the curing time from us, usually around a day.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DT2 postcode.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
