How we handle bath resealing in Lowertown-by-Helston

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s stained silicone and leaks at the edges, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

When to call us in Lowertown-by-Helston

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps by the taps

Before you book anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before booking

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We leave the room as we found it

What affects the price in Lowertown-by-Helston

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lowertown-by-Helston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs

If you’re in Lowertown-by-Helston and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lowertown-by-Helston

For anyone letting property in or around Lowertown-by-Helston, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
