Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Hick's Mill, Cornwall
Fixed-price bath resealing in Hick's Mill and the surrounding area, normally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Unsealed corners
Bath resealing in Hick's Mill, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and black mould in the sealant, we can normally put it right, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hick's Mill
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 will fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Do you need bath resealing in Hick's Mill?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Gaps by the taps
- Gaps in the seal
- Stained silicone
- Damp near the bath

What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
Most clients in Hick's Mill get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Your questions about bath resealing in Hick's Mill
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What areas do you cover?
All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is resealing worth it?
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. We don’t add extras on the day.
