Bath resealing in Mitchell without the cost of replacing. Get a fixed price from your photos, then book a visit.
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- An untidy old seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
What affects the price in Mitchell
There is no charge for travel to Mitchell. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Bath resealing in Mitchell, 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 are often asked to fix mould you can’t clean out and a messy previous reseal, across shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Resealing in Mitchell: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Fixed prices from your pictures

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
When to call us in Mitchell
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Unsealed corners
- Damp near the bath
- Sealant that’s split or lifting

Common questions in Mitchell
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Mitchell is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the curing time from us.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Are there extra charges for Mitchell?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
