Landlord and trade work in Willian

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hertfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes around two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  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, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

What we are called out for in Willian

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

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hidden water damage

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

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Let steam out after showers

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

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How long does resealing take?

Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

How long does silicone take to cure?

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

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