Bath resealing near Illogan Highway

What bath resealing costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Illogan Highway. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Illogan Highway, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Bath resealing at your home in Illogan Highway

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include leaks at the edges and stained silicone, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

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

Common questions in Illogan Highway

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time, typically around a day.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?

We cover the whole UK, including Illogan Highway and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Illogan Highway?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Why it’s worth resealing in Illogan Highway

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A flexing bath

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

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Common problems we fix in Illogan Highway

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Before you book anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
