Bath resealing in Housel Bay

How we handle bath resealing in Housel Bay

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for damp near the bath and old sealant that looks dirty, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Why it’s worth resealing in Housel Bay

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. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Signs you need bath resealing in Housel Bay

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Mould you can’t clean out

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Housel Bay questions

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Housel Bay and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Air the room after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TR12 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
