Landlord and trade work in Great Tew
Letting agents often 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.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Bath resealing in Great Tew, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you are dealing with unsealed corners and an untidy old seal, we can typically put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Questions from Great Tew
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How long before I can shower?
Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Great Tew is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Common problems we fix in Great Tew
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Unsealed corners
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps in the seal
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What preparation is included
- What happens if they find more damage

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
