Bath resealing in Gerrans without replacing anything
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We regularly repair wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about missing sealant behind the taps and stained silicone.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A flexing bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What else we do in Gerrans
Common questions in Gerrans
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there a guarantee?

How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Resealing in Gerrans: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep the joints dry
- Give the seal a regular clean
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Common problems we fix in Gerrans
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Old sealant that looks dirty
Comparing quotes
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gerrans
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
