How bath resealing works in the Isles of Scilly
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Typical jobs include silicone coming away from the tiles and old sealant that looks dirty, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Landmarks near Hugh Town
We visit homes around The Bishop And Wolf Public House and Church of St Mary (Methodist) and the streets around them. A little further out are St Mary's Hospital (within half a mile south-east) and Ennor Castle (0.6 miles east). Not far away are Mount Todden and Abbey Pool.
Signs you need bath resealing
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Leaks at the edges
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black spots in the silicone
- Sealant that is split or lifting
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Repairing versus replacing
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix.
What your quote should include

What affects the price in the Isles of Scilly
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- The material
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Questions from the Isles of Scilly
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
