Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Helland, Cornwall
Bath resealing in and around Helland: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- A messy previous reseal
- Sealant that is split or lifting
How we handle bath resealing in Helland
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include old sealant that looks dirty and unsealed corners, on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Helland as everywhere else we work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Common questions in Helland
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Normally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you cover Helland?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Helland and the rest of Cornwall. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
How we price bath resealing
There’s no charge for travel to Helland. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Everything repaired in place
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Common problems we fix in Helland
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Mould you can’t clean out
Before you book anyone
- What preparation is included
- How to care for the finish
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
