Landlord and trade work in Longham

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

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.

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area

See our prices page.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Longham, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep the joints dry

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Your questions about bath resealing in Longham

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time, normally around a day.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Are there extra charges for Longham?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Signs you need bath resealing in Longham

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Common reasons people in Longham contact us include:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black spots in the silicone

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What preparation is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
