Advice
Bath resealing at your home in Middle Crackington
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are damp near the bath and silicone smeared on tiles.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Prices and what affects them
There’s no charge for travel to Middle Crackington. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Air the room after use
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Landlord and trade work in Middle Crackington
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common questions in Middle Crackington
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?
Across the UK, so Middle Crackington is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You’ll get the curing time from us, typically around a day.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
