Common problems we fix in Higher Downs
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Leaks at the edges

Can I fix it myself?
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 fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Your questions about bath resealing in Higher Downs
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cornwall.
Do you come to Higher Downs?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Higher Downs and the rest of Cornwall. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are there extra charges for Higher Downs?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
How much does bath resealing cost in Higher Downs?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Let steam out after showers
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
