For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Common questions in Westleton

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Westleton?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you cover Westleton?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Westleton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Why does mould come back so fast?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Open a window after bathing

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Common problems we fix in Westleton

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Common reasons people in Westleton contact us include:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black spots in the silicone
