Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Carharrack, Cornwall
Bath resealing for Carharrack, without a refit. Get a fixed price from your photos, then we come to you.
- Unsealed corners
- A messy previous reseal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Open a window after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Use the extractor fan
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
About our bath resealing in Carharrack
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Typical jobs include black spots in the silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
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.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Wet rooms

Common questions in Carharrack
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Carharrack is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
