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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How we handle bath resealing in Grimscott

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about unsealed corners and damp near the bath.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Questions from Grimscott

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cornwall.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

Materials we work on in Grimscott

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units

What bath resealing costs

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Landlord and trade work in Grimscott

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Grimscott as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When to call us in Grimscott

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Mould you can’t clean out

Before you book anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • When it can be used again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
