Bath resealing in Lower Porthpean without replacing anything
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are discoloured, yellow sealant and missing sealant behind the taps.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Questions from Lower Porthpean
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
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. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you come to Lower Porthpean?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Lower Porthpean for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?
Everywhere in the UK, Lower Porthpean included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Air the room after use
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

What else we do in Lower Porthpean
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How we price bath resealing
We do not charge extra for travel to Lower Porthpean. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
