Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Carnyorth, Cornwall
Bath resealing across Carnyorth and nearby, normally in one visit.
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Damp near the bath
- Black mould in the sealant
How we handle bath resealing in Carnyorth
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We’re frequently asked to fix water getting behind the bath or tray and gaps by the taps, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures

What we’re called out for in Carnyorth

Prices and what affects them
You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- No need to remove anything
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- We leave the room as we found it

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Dry the seal after bathing
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Carnyorth questions
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
