Bath resealing near Carn Brea Village

How we handle bath resealing in Carn Brea Village

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are leaks at the edges and mould you can’t clean out.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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.

Signs you need bath resealing in Carn Brea Village

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Stained silicone
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the price covers travel

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hidden water damage

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure 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.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carn Brea Village use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a couple of hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
