What affects the price in Cornsay Colliery
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Bath resealing at your home in Cornsay Colliery
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s leaks at the edges and an untidy old seal, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Everything repaired in place

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Landlord and trade work in Cornsay Colliery
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.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cornsay Colliery as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Let steam out after showers
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
