Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Bodelva, Cornwall
Bath resealing in and around Bodelva: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Black mould in the sealant
- Stained silicone
- An untidy old seal
Prices and what affects them
There’s no charge for travel to Bodelva. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Bath resealing at your home in Bodelva
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone coming away from the tiles and black spots in the silicone.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Bodelva: your questions answered
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We’ll give you the curing time.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Common problems we fix in Bodelva
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Leaks at the edges
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black spots in the silicone

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Is resealing worth it?
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. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
