For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Irthlingborough, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Questions from Irthlingborough

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the curing time from us.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Northamptonshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes around two hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What affects the price in Irthlingborough

There is no area surcharge for Irthlingborough. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

When to call us in Irthlingborough

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Stained silicone

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Keep the joints dry

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Hidden water damage
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
