Landlords, agents and businesses in Bodiniel

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Bath resealing in Bodiniel, done in place

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We’re often asked to fix stained silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting, across kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Bodiniel, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Questions from Bodiniel

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What areas do you cover?

All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 won’t last.

Resealing in Bodiniel: why it matters

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take around two hours, including clearing up.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
