DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Prices and what affects them

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

We do not add 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.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our pricing.

When to call us in Exminster

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Common reasons people in Exminster contact us are:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • A messy previous reseal

Comparing quotes

  • What preparation is included
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Exminster: your questions answered

Do you work in Exminster?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Exminster for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us, typically around a day.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
