Trusted bath resealing in Frogpool

Bath resealing in Frogpool without replacing anything

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone coming away from the tiles.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Frogpool and across Cornwall.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Frogpool use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Why it’s worth resealing in Frogpool

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

What we are called out for in Frogpool

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Stained silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do I have to be there?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
