Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Charlestown, Cornwall
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Charlestown, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- A messy previous reseal
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Gaps by the taps
Bath resealing in Charlestown, done in place
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and common reasons people contact us are black mould in the sealant and unsealed corners.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Charlestown as everywhere else we work.

Common problems we fix in Charlestown
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

Can I fix it myself?
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Why it’s worth resealing in Charlestown
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Charlestown. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- No extra charge for your area
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Keep the joints dry
- Let steam out after showers
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a couple of hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage

FAQs for Charlestown
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?
We cover the entire UK, including Charlestown and the rest of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A flexing bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
