Bath resealing in Carlyon Bay, done in place
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We’re often asked to fix water getting behind the bath or tray and gaps in the seal, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Carlyon Bay and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can

When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Why it’s worth resealing in Carlyon Bay
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Carlyon Bay. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

FAQs for Carlyon Bay
How long does silicone take to cure?
Generally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Usually because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 won’t last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What affects the price in Carlyon Bay
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Carlyon Bay, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Air the room after use
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
