DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Hidden water damage
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Movement in the bath or tray
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Lostwithiel
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
What we’re called out for in Lostwithiel
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
The things clients normally mention when they call include:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- A messy previous reseal
- Damp near the bath
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How to look after the finish
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why Lostwithiel clients choose us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- A fixed quote before booking
- No extra charge for your area

Common questions in Lostwithiel
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you come to Lostwithiel?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Lostwithiel for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What bath resealing costs
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
