How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  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. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Landlords, agents and businesses in Peatling Magna

For anyone letting property in or around Peatling Magna, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Leicestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Your questions about bath resealing in Peatling Magna

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Do you cover the whole of Leicestershire?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What affects the price in Peatling Magna

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

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

What we are called out for in Peatling Magna

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected
  • How soon you can use it again
