Bath resealing near St Tudy

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, 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.

About our bath resealing in St Tudy

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Typical jobs include mould you can’t clean out and an untidy old seal, on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around St Tudy, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

Most clients in St Tudy get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

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

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we are called out for in St Tudy

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Damp near the bath
  • Black mould in the sealant

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What prep work is covered
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

Questions from St Tudy

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How long does resealing take?

Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
