Longrock questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
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.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Longrock?
Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TR20 postcode.
Are there extra charges for Longrock?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Bath resealing at your home in Longrock
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for stained silicone and gaps by the taps, across basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.

- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Why it’s worth resealing in Longrock
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One visit for most repairs
- No extra charge for your area

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Keep the joints dry
- Use the extractor fan
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Do you need bath resealing in Longrock?
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- An untidy old seal
- Stained silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who will actually do the work
What bath resealing costs
There’s no charge for travel to Longrock. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Longrock, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
