Landlord and trade work in Loose

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

When to call us in Loose

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

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

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Before you book anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Air the room after use
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.

How we price bath resealing

There is no area surcharge for Loose. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Questions from Loose

When can I use the bath after resealing?

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

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Are there extra charges for Loose?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
