Bath resealing in Norris Green, done in place

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are silicone coming away from the tiles and unsealed corners.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Prices and what affects them

We don’t charge extra for travel to Norris Green. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Air the room after use

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Common questions in Norris Green

Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?

All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We will give you the curing time, usually around a day.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Norris Green?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 generally the cheaper route.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Resealing in Norris Green: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
