Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Coombe, Cornwall
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Coombe, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Bath resealing in Coombe without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We’re often asked to fix a messy previous reseal and black mould in the sealant, in basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlord and trade work in Coombe
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Coombe questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common problems we fix in Coombe
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Stained silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
Comparing quotes
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- If travel is included in the price
- What prep work is covered
Resealing in Coombe: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. 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 pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes about two hours for a bath.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
