When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair

Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

FAQs for Longdowns
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Longdowns?
Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?
Everywhere in the UK, Longdowns included. Travel is included in the price.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Open a window after bathing
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking 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
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to around two hours, tidy-up included.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
