When to call us in Gyllyngvase

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

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant

Questions to ask before you book

  • How your room will be protected
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

About our bath resealing in Gyllyngvase

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you’re dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and unsealed corners, we can help.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Why it’s worth resealing in Gyllyngvase

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Work done at your home or business

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Open a window after bathing

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

For landlords and businesses

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

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What bath resealing costs

We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Your questions about bath resealing in Gyllyngvase

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

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

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?

We cover the whole UK, including Gyllyngvase and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
