Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Boscoppa, Cornwall
Fixed-price bath resealing in Boscoppa and the surrounding area, typically in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps by the taps
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Bath resealing in Boscoppa, 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, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and people most often call us about missing sealant behind the taps and silicone smeared on tiles.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common questions in Boscoppa
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Boscoppa?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Boscoppa.
Are there extra charges for Boscoppa?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why book with us

How we price bath resealing
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- 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.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep the joints dry
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hidden water damage
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
