Related advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Marston on Dove

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Questions from Marston on Dove

Do you seal over the old sealant?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Marston on Dove included. There is no extra charge for travel.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is there any odour?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DE65 postcode.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

What bath resealing costs

There’s no area surcharge for Marston on Dove. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

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

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
