Landlord and trade work in Prestongrange

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Prestongrange

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Prestongrange. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes around two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Signs you need bath resealing in Prestongrange

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Unsealed corners
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black spots in the silicone

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about bath resealing in Prestongrange

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EH32 postcode.

Is my repair covered?

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

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Prestongrange and the rest of East Lothian. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Air the room after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
