About our bath resealing in Freathy
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s leaks at the edges and an untidy old seal, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Your questions about bath resealing in Freathy
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How much does bath resealing cost in Freathy?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Freathy.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlord and trade work in Freathy
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Air the room after use
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
