Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use the extractor fan
- Air the room after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Store bottles on a shelf
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What affects the price in Wickham Street
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

What your bath or shower is made of matters
