Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Crantock, Cornwall
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Crantock, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps in the seal
- Stained silicone
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Bath resealing at your home in Crantock
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include black mould in the sealant and missing sealant behind the taps, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What we are called out for in Crantock
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Stained silicone
- Unsealed corners
- Damp near the bath
Before booking anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How to look after the finish
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Air the room after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Why reseal now?
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. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Same prices wherever you are
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Most jobs done in one visit

Crantock: your questions answered
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Do you cover Crantock?
We do. We send a technician to Crantock for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
