For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How we handle bath resealing in Whitchurch-on-Thames

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Typical jobs include discoloured, yellow sealant and leaks at the edges, across kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One price list for the entire UK

Prices and what affects them

There is no charge for travel to Whitchurch-on-Thames. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

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

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Your questions about bath resealing in Whitchurch-on-Thames

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How long before I can shower?

Generally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Let steam out after showers

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow around two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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

Materials we work on in Whitchurch-on-Thames

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
