For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

Materials we work on in Scriven

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Why it’s worth resealing in Scriven

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Scriven: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Scriven.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Scriven. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Scriven, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Air the room after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
