Landlords, agents and businesses in Ollersett
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ollersett use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Open a window after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A flexing bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone

Your questions about bath resealing in Ollersett
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take around two hours, tidy-up included.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
What bath resealing costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Ollersett. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
Most clients in Ollersett get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
