Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Pentire, Cornwall

About our bath resealing in Pentire
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you are dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and a messy previous reseal, we can generally put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Questions from Pentire
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you come to Pentire?
We do. Technicians travel to Pentire from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How we price bath resealing
There is no area surcharge for Pentire. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
For a price in Pentire, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TR7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Air the room after use
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Why it’s worth resealing in Pentire
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we are called out for in Pentire
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps in the seal
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How the room is protected while they work
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
