Landlords, agents and businesses in Woodley
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woodley use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A flexing bath
- Hollow or loose tiles

- Wet rooms

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Sealant that is split or lifting
Questions to ask before booking

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Air the room after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Dry the seal after bathing
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Questions from Woodley
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Generally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
What affects the price in Woodley
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
For a price in Woodley, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Why it’s worth resealing in Woodley
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
