Your questions about bath resealing in Monkscross
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You’ll get the curing time from us, generally around a day.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Monkscross?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cornwall.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Bath resealing in Monkscross, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include silicone coming away from the tiles and silicone smeared on tiles, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Monkscross and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Let steam out after showers
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Why it’s worth resealing in Monkscross
Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
