Bath resealing in Pillaton

Bath resealing in Pillaton, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about gaps in the seal and old sealant that looks dirty.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common problems we fix in Pillaton

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How to care for the finish
  • How soon you can use it again

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Common questions in Pillaton

Why does mould come back so fast?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Cornwall.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Pillaton and the rest of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

What bath resealing costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Pillaton. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in Pillaton, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Pillaton

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access
