Landlords, agents and businesses in Settiscarth
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Settiscarth use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How we handle bath resealing in Settiscarth
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. If you are dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone smeared on tiles, we can normally put it right.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Questions from Settiscarth
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Are there extra charges for Settiscarth?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you come to Settiscarth?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Settiscarth. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a couple of hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Advice
Also in Settiscarth
What bath resealing costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Settiscarth, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When to call us in Settiscarth
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Unsealed corners
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Leaks at the edges
Before you book anyone
- How the colour is matched
- How long it needs to cure
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, 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.
