Bath resealing in Boscastle, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We are frequently asked to fix old sealant that looks dirty and gaps by the taps, in baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Air the room after use
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Signs you need bath resealing in Boscastle
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- Gaps by the taps
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Water getting behind the bath or tray

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice
What bath resealing costs
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Your questions about bath resealing in Boscastle
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you work in Boscastle?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Boscastle. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Boscastle.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Boscastle. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
