Landlords, agents and businesses in Oakley

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Fife and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Bath resealing in Oakley, done in place

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Typical jobs include gaps by the taps and black spots in the silicone, in kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common problems we fix in Oakley

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Common reasons people in Oakley contact us are:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • A messy previous reseal

Our hiring checklist

Oakley: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Oakley customers choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Everything repaired in place

Take a look at our full price list.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
