Bath resealing in North Hill, done in place

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about gaps by the taps and black mould in the sealant.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

Landlord and trade work in North Hill

For anyone letting property in or around North Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

FAQs for North Hill

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you cover North Hill?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to North Hill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What affects the price in North Hill

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • Access to the area

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Common problems we fix in North Hill

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • What preparation is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

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