Trusted bath resealing in Mawgan Porth

Bath resealing in Mawgan Porth, done in place

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are sealant that’s split or lifting and water getting behind the bath or tray.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Your questions about bath resealing in Mawgan Porth

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Resealing in Mawgan Porth: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Mawgan Porth. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Mawgan Porth customers choose us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down 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 care for it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TR8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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

Surfaces we repair

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