Bath resealing at your home in Highertown
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are stained silicone and water getting behind the bath or tray.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes around two hours.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Highertown, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
When to call us in Highertown

Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- A messy previous reseal
- Stained silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps

Highertown questions
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time, normally around a day.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cornwall.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Movement in the bath or tray
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Keep the joints dry
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Run 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.
Resealing in Highertown: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
