How we handle bath resealing in Pentewan
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. If you are dealing with black mould in the sealant and damp near the bath, we can generally put it right.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Pentewan and across Cornwall.

What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Pentewan: your questions answered
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Pentewan?
We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PL26 postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
How we price bath resealing
There is no area surcharge for Pentewan. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Pentewan, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Do you need bath resealing in Pentewan?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- Stained silicone
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps by the taps
Before booking anyone

- What happens if they find more damage

Why it’s worth resealing in Pentewan
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
