Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Dry the seal after bathing
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
How we price bath resealing
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
What we’re called out for in Heaton
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Black mould in the sealant
- Unsealed corners
- A messy previous reseal
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price covers travel
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who turns up on the day
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
