Bath resealing in Penzance, done in place
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We are often asked to fix gaps in the seal and leaks at the edges, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours, tidy-up included.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Prices and what affects them
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Penzance. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most customers in Penzance get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Questions from Penzance
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Do you cover Penzance?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Penzance. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Dry the seal after bathing
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
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.
