Common questions in Germoe

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Are there extra charges for Germoe?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can new silicone go over old?

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

What areas do you cover?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Bath resealing at your home in Germoe

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and black mould in the sealant, we can help.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

How to compare quotes

Resealing in Germoe: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

For landlords and businesses

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What bath resealing costs

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TR20 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
