Bath resealing for Bodmin homes

Bath resealing in Bodmin without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with a messy previous reseal and gaps in the seal, we can help, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths

Common questions in Bodmin

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Bodmin and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You’ll get the curing time from us, normally around a day.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What we are called out for in Bodmin

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Damp near the bath
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What bath resealing costs

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
