Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common questions in Rableyheath

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

How much does bath resealing cost in Rableyheath?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Do you work in Rableyheath?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Rableyheath from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What affects the price in Rableyheath

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep the joints dry

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Signs you need bath resealing in Rableyheath

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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 frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
