Bath resealing in Helford Passage

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

Bath resealing at your home in Helford Passage

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you are dealing with black mould in the sealant and unsealed corners, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Helford Passage and across Cornwall.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

Materials we work on in Helford Passage

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

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Common questions in Helford Passage

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you come to Helford Passage?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Helford Passage. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
