When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  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. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Perran Downs: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Perran Downs. Prices do not change with location.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you work in Perran Downs?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Perran Downs. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Landlord and trade work in Perran Downs

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, 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 typically cheaper.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Perran Downs

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Mould you cannot clean out

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Perran Downs, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
