Lizard: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Lizard is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

When to call us in Lizard
In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Gaps in the seal
- Gaps by the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long it needs to cure
What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lizard. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
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 quote, not an estimate.
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why Lizard clients choose us
- One price list for the whole UK
- Everything repaired in place
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- We leave the room as we found it

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Lizard

Landlord and trade work in Lizard
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Most customers in Lizard get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
