Bath resealing at your home in Carkeel
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We are often asked to fix stained silicone and black mould in the sealant, in kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
When to call us in Carkeel
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- A messy previous reseal
- Missing sealant behind the taps

When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures

How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- 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
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price

Advice
Common questions in Carkeel
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Air the room after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
