Bath resealing in Old Grimsby without replacing anything
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s unsealed corners and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Where we work around Old Grimsby
Old Grimsby is about 37 miles west of Penzance, in the Isles of Scilly. Jobs in Old Grimsby are booked in like any other job: a fixed price from your pictures, then a visit to do the work. Our repair technicians cover 13 places across the Isles of Scilly, from the larger towns to small villages.
Here we cover the TR24 postcode area. Streets in the area include Back Lane and Tommy's Hill, and we cover them all. We also travel to Dolphin Town (1 mile south-west), New Grimsby (1 mile south-west), Higher Town (2 miles east), Telegraph (3 miles south-east) and Trenoweth (3 miles south-east). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so it’s best to call first.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Open a window after bathing
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Common problems we fix in Old Grimsby
In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Leaks at the edges
- Mould you can’t clean out

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
FAQs for Old Grimsby
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Are there extra charges for Old Grimsby?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How we price bath resealing
There’s no charge for travel to Old Grimsby. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
