Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Milton on Stour use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

About our bath resealing in Milton on Stour

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are missing sealant behind the taps and old sealant that looks dirty.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

FAQs for Milton on Stour

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Prices and what affects them

There’s no charge for travel to Milton on Stour. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Why it’s worth resealing in Milton on Stour

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Common problems we fix in Milton on Stour

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Look out for these signs:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Leaks at the edges

What your quote should include
