Landlord and trade work in Stanhope Bretby

Letting agents frequently 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.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Common problems we fix in Stanhope Bretby

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • An untidy old seal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How your room will be protected
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

What bath resealing costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Your questions about bath resealing in Stanhope Bretby

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Do you come to Stanhope Bretby?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Stanhope Bretby. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Does someone need to be in?

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

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

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. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
