Bath resealing in Kenwyn without replacing anything
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We are frequently asked to fix damp near the bath and mould you can’t clean out, in baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hollow or loose tiles
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice
Landlord and trade work in Kenwyn
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Kenwyn.
Do you need bath resealing in Kenwyn?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Common reasons people in Kenwyn contact us are:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Mould you can’t clean out
- A messy previous reseal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Before booking anyone
- What prep work is covered
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How your room will be protected
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
- Air the room after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
