How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- 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
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Your questions about bath resealing in Carnon Downs
Do you work in Carnon Downs?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Carnon Downs from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You’ll get the curing time from us, usually around a day.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
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.
