Bath resealing in Helford, done in place
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths, and common reasons people contact us are old sealant that looks dirty and a messy previous reseal.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Helford and across Cornwall.

Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Dry the seal after bathing
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hidden water damage
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

FAQs for Helford
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How long does a reseal take?
Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
When to call us in Helford
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Unsealed corners
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone coming away from the tiles

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
