Landlord and trade work in Earlswood
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Bath resealing in Earlswood without replacing anything
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We regularly repair wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about leaks at the edges and silicone coming away from the tiles.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Questions from Earlswood
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What we are called out for in Earlswood
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Unsealed corners

Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Open a window after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Dry the seal after bathing
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
