Work for landlords and builders

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

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Knutton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Bath resealing in Knutton, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include missing sealant behind the taps and black spots in the silicone, across shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry

Knutton: your questions answered

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you charge for travel?

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

How much does bath resealing cost in Knutton?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What affects the price in Knutton

We do not charge extra for travel to Knutton. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you’re in Knutton and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Air the room after use

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Baths

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

Resealing in Knutton: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
