Can I fix it myself?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What affects the price in Yelverton
We don’t charge extra for travel to Yelverton. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NR14 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Yelverton
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Are there extra charges for Yelverton?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Keep the joints dry
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Signs you need bath resealing in Yelverton
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damp near the bath
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Mould you can’t clean out
- A messy previous reseal
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again
Repairs by material
