Bath resealing for Delabole homes

About our bath resealing in Delabole

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for black spots in the silicone and silicone smeared on tiles, in basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. 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. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Signs you need bath resealing in Delabole

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Damp near the bath

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

What affects the price in Delabole

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common questions in Delabole

Do you work in Delabole?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Delabole and the rest of Cornwall. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Delabole included. Travel is included in the price.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
