What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Bath resealing in New Mill without replacing anything

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Signs you need bath resealing in New Mill

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Stained silicone
  • Damp near the bath
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Before you book anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Why it’s worth resealing in New Mill

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. 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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it

Your questions about bath resealing in New Mill

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Cornwall.

Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?

We work UK-wide, and that includes New Mill. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you come to New Mill?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to New Mill. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including New Mill. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
