Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Camborne, Cornwall
Fixed-price bath resealing in Camborne and the surrounding area, normally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Bath resealing in Camborne, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about silicone smeared on tiles and gaps by the taps.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What affects the price in Camborne
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
If you’re in Camborne and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Let steam out after showers
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Camborne questions
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Camborne is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Camborne as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
