How we handle bath resealing in Hellesveor
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. Common call-outs are for damp near the bath and a messy previous reseal, across shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Hellesveor and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Hellesveor
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Common questions in Hellesveor
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How long before I can shower?
Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cornwall.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Air the room after use
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
