For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Choosing a repair company

What bath resealing costs

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Richmond upon Thames, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.

  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Resealing in Richmond upon Thames: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Richmond upon Thames. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath

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

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
