What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

Materials we repair

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

Bath resealing in Osberton, done in place

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our technicians work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and a messy previous reseal.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint 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

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Common questions in Osberton

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do you cover the whole of Nottinghamshire?

All of Nottinghamshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Osberton

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Nottinghamshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What affects the price in Osberton

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Why it’s worth resealing in Osberton

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
