Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Gorran Haven, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Let steam out after showers
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Questions from Gorran Haven
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do you work in Gorran Haven?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Gorran Haven and the rest of Cornwall. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Signs you need bath resealing in Gorran Haven
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Stained silicone
- Gaps in the seal
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What aftercare is recommended

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours, tidy-up included.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Most clients in Gorran Haven get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
