Bath resealing in Gwithian without replacing anything

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Common call-outs are for unsealed corners and silicone coming away from the tiles, in baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Gwithian

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

How we price bath resealing

You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common questions in Gwithian

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

Can I fix it myself?

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

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we’re called out for in Gwithian

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

People typically call us when they notice something like this:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps in the seal
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Open a window after bathing

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Landlord and trade work in Gwithian

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  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. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TR27 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
