Landlord and trade work in West Street

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Bath resealing in West Street, done in place

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s silicone smeared on tiles and leaks at the edges, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

What bath resealing costs

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
