What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for around two hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Why it’s worth resealing in Littlestead Green

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Littlestead Green: your questions answered

How long before I can shower?

Normally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
