Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Luxulyan, Cornwall
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Luxulyan, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Black mould in the sealant
- A messy previous reseal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
How we handle bath resealing in Luxulyan
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are discoloured, yellow sealant and black mould in the sealant.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Questions from Luxulyan
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your PL30 postcode.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

See our prices page.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.
