Great Offley: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Do you cover the entire of Hertfordshire?
All of Hertfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Bath resealing at your home in Great Offley
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We regularly repair wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone coming away from the tiles.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Great Offley
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Let steam out after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
