Common problems we fix in Cawsand

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Damp near the bath

Cawsand questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Cawsand.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Cawsand and the rest of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What bath resealing costs

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cawsand use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Cawsand, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Air the room after use

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
