Landlord and trade work in Porthloo

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Questions from Porthloo

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Porthloo.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

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

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

When to call us in Porthloo

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • An untidy old seal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Black mould in the sealant

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How we price bath resealing

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
