Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Give the seal a regular clean
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, 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. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Penhallick: your questions answered
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What we are called out for in Penhallick
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- An untidy old seal
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- What preparation is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Hidden water damage
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Resealing in Penhallick: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
