Advice
Bath resealing at your home in Cross Lanes
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you are dealing with gaps by the taps and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

Your questions about bath resealing in Cross Lanes
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Cross Lanes?
We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?
Across the UK, and that includes Cross Lanes. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you work in Cross Lanes?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Cross Lanes from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- A fixed quote before booking

Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Use the extractor fan
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
What else we do in Cross Lanes
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

Do you need bath resealing in Cross Lanes?
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

- Gaps in the seal
- Gaps by the taps
- Stained silicone
- Leaks at the edges
