Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Bath resealing at your home in Hendra
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and the jobs we see most are gaps in the seal and water getting behind the bath or tray.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

FAQs for Hendra
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?
We cover the whole UK, including Hendra and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Why reseal now?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What else we do in Hendra
How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
