Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Hendra, Cornwall

About our bath resealing in Hendra
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and old sealant that looks dirty, across baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Why it’s worth resealing in Hendra
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Hendra: your questions answered
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
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 reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What we’re called out for in Hendra
Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Gaps by the taps
- Damp near the bath
- Sealant that is split or lifting

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
