Landlords, agents and businesses in Lydd

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lydd as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

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

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How to look after the repair

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

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back

Most customers in Lydd get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Why it’s worth resealing in Lydd

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why Lydd customers choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Common questions in Lydd

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You will get the curing time from us.
