Bath resealing for Boslowick homes

About our bath resealing in Boslowick

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. If you are dealing with black spots in the silicone and gaps in the seal, we can usually put it right.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Air the room after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

How we price bath resealing

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Signs you need bath resealing in Boslowick

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Why it’s worth resealing in Boslowick

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
