Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What bath resealing costs

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

There are no surprise 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.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Broad Lane questions

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Do you cover Broad Lane?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Broad Lane from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What areas do you cover?

All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Use the extractor fan

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Common problems we fix in Broad Lane

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps in the seal

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

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

Resealing in Broad Lane: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Broad Lane. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business

Take a look at our prices page.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
