Landlord and trade work in Sessay
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sessay use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Open a window after bathing
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
FAQs for Sessay
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Why it’s worth resealing in Sessay
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
