Carnkie: your questions answered
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cornwall.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Carnkie. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A flexing bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Why it’s worth resealing in Carnkie
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Do you need bath resealing in Carnkie?
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- Unsealed corners
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- A messy previous reseal
- Silicone coming away from the tiles

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Landlord and trade work in Carnkie
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
