What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Bath resealing in Bethel without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are damp near the bath and mould you can’t clean out.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bethel as everywhere else we work.

What we are called out for in Bethel
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
- Leaks at the edges
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What preparation is included

Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- A fixed quote before booking
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No need to remove anything

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hollow or loose tiles
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Let steam out after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bethel as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
