Bath Resealing for Higher Bal homes
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Higher Bal, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps in the seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
How we handle bath resealing in Higher Bal
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths, and the jobs we see most are damp near the bath and a messy previous reseal.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Higher Bal questions
Do you come to Higher Bal?
We do. We send a technician to Higher Bal for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Higher Bal?
We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
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?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Advice
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Hidden water damage
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
When to call us in Higher Bal
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Damp near the bath
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Black mould in the sealant
Questions to ask before you book
- How the room is protected while they work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How to look after the finish
- How the colour is matched
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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Higher Bal, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
