How we handle bath resealing in Bareppa
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. If you are dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Bareppa
If you manage property in Bareppa, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Bareppa questions
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Are there extra charges for Bareppa?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Cornwall.
What affects the price in Bareppa
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
There’s 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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures

- Basins & vanity units
Do you need bath resealing in Bareppa?
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Common reasons people in Bareppa contact us are:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
- How long it needs to cure
