Need bath resealing in Gwennap?

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we handle bath resealing in Gwennap

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. If you’re dealing with an untidy old seal and gaps in the seal, we can generally put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, 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. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  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

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

FAQs for Gwennap

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you come to Gwennap?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Gwennap. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Generally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your TR16 postcode.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Signs you need bath resealing in Gwennap

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Damp near the bath
  • Black mould in the sealant

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
