Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Malpas, Cornwall
Our repair technicians come to Malpas for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps by the taps
Bath resealing in Malpas without replacing anything
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 a new seal stops it. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are black mould in the sealant and stained silicone.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Let steam out after showers
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What affects the price in Malpas
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Malpas. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

FAQs for Malpas
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.

- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare

- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the area is dry
