Landlord and trade work in Far Sawrey
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How we handle bath resealing in Far Sawrey
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include sealant that’s split or lifting and an untidy old seal, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Why it’s worth resealing in Far Sawrey
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What we are called out for in Far Sawrey
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
Look out for any of the following:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Unsealed corners
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Open a window after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
How we price bath resealing
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Far Sawrey questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take around two hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park
