Bath resealing for Escalls homes

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Open a window after bathing

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Bath resealing at your home in Escalls

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. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and an untidy old seal, we can help, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units alike.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hidden water damage

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Escalls

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Escalls?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Related advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Escalls as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

What bath resealing costs

There’s no charge for travel to Escalls. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
