Bath resealing near Hendra

Bath resealing in Hendra without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you are dealing with gaps in the seal and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

When to call us in Hendra

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black spots in the silicone

Comparing quotes

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

Common questions in Hendra

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Are there extra charges for Hendra?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you work in Hendra?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Hendra and the rest of Cornwall. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
