Bath resealing at your home in Botallack

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for unsealed corners and stained silicone, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms.

For a rural address like Botallack, tell us about access and parking, and we’ll organise the visit.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

What bath resealing costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Botallack. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. For a rural home like those around Botallack, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Fixed quotes from pictures

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

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.

Botallack questions

Will you travel to Botallack?

We do: small places like Botallack are covered as standard. Tell us if access is tricky.

Can you redo the sealant around baths and showers at a school or business in Botallack?

Yes, we work for schools, leisure centres and businesses, and our accreditations include CHAS and Constructionline. Photos and a few details are enough for a quote.

Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days. In a village or hamlet like Botallack, access can be the only tricky part. Once we’re there, the bath resealing works exactly as anywhere else.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry
