Landlords, agents and businesses in Shottisham
For anyone letting property in or around Shottisham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Most jobs done in one visit

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Dry the seal after bathing
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

FAQs for Shottisham
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Generally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How long before I can shower?
Typically after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
