Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Hessenford, Cornwall
We travel to Hessenford for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Old sealant that looks dirty
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep the joints dry
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Bath resealing in Hessenford without replacing anything
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s mould you can’t clean out and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Signs you need bath resealing in Hessenford
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Damp near the bath
- Unsealed corners
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles

When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Hessenford. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: 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.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PL11 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- 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
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Hessenford: your questions answered
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you come to Hessenford?
We do. Technicians travel to Hessenford from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?
Across the UK, so Hessenford is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
