Bath Resealing for Helstone homes
Local bath resealing for Helstone: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps in the seal
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Bath resealing in Helstone without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with gaps in the seal and an untidy old seal, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What bath resealing costs
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
For a price in Helstone, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
FAQs for Helstone
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?
We work UK-wide, so Helstone is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
