Why reseal now?

What else we do in Mawnan Smith
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep the joints dry
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

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

- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash

Signs you need bath resealing in Mawnan Smith
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Old sealant that looks dirty
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- When it can be used again
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
