Landlord and trade work in Risby
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Bath resealing in Risby without replacing anything
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We’re often asked to fix silicone smeared on tiles and unsealed corners, on basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Common questions in Risby
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
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.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

What else we do in Risby
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Why it’s worth resealing in Risby
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
