When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage

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

What we work on

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

Bath resealing in Roche without replacing anything

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s an untidy old seal and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Why it’s worth resealing in Roche

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes around two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  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. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

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

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Roche as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

  • Gaps by the taps

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Roche

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What areas do you cover?

All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you work in Roche?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Roche. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
