Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Perranwell questions
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Do you come to Perranwell?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Perranwell and the rest of Cornwall. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Dry the seal after bathing
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
What bath resealing costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Perranwell. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Resealing in Perranwell: 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. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
