Bath resealing in Helston, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Our technicians work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are old sealant that looks dirty and black mould in the sealant.

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

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Your questions about bath resealing in Helston

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?

We cover the whole UK, including Helston and the rest of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 typically cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Basins & vanity units

When to call us in Helston

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • An untidy old seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black spots in the silicone

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Helston

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
