What affects the price in Lopen
There’s no charge for travel to Lopen. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Dry the seal after bathing
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Questions from Lopen
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
