How we price bath resealing
We charge the same across the UK, including Lescrow. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Your questions about bath resealing in Lescrow
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lescrow
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Air the room after use
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
