Bath resealing in Insworke, done in place

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for mould you can’t clean out and missing sealant behind the taps, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Landlords, agents and businesses in Insworke

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Insworke use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Common problems we fix in Insworke

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Stained silicone
  • Damp near the bath
  • Black spots in the silicone

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Insworke

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

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Air the room after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

FAQs for Insworke

Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Insworke?

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you cover Insworke?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Insworke and the rest of Cornwall. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Why it’s worth resealing in Insworke

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price 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 quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
