How we handle bath resealing in Altarnun
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Whether it’s black mould in the sealant and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

FAQs for Altarnun
How long does silicone take to cure?
We will give you the curing time, generally around a day.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are there extra charges for Altarnun?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?
Everywhere in the UK, Altarnun included. Travel is included in the price.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Store bottles on a shelf
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Altarnun
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the area is dry

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Work done at your home or business

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
What bath resealing costs
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Altarnun. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
