Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Pool, Cornwall
Bath resealing across Pool and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Black mould in the sealant
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- A messy previous reseal
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Pool, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Bath resealing in Pool, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you’re dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
Signs you need bath resealing in Pool
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- Stained silicone
- Damp near the bath
- Mould you cannot clean out
- An untidy old seal

How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Common questions in Pool
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Are there extra charges for Pool?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you work in Pool?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Pool and the rest of Cornwall. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
