Landlord and trade work in Heol-ddu

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Heol-ddu, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Common problems we fix in Heol-ddu

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps in the seal
  • A messy previous reseal

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Heol-ddu customers choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Read our pricing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Heol-ddu. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SA15 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Common questions in Heol-ddu

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Let steam out after showers

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
