Bath resealing in Porcupine, done in place
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you are dealing with discoloured, yellow sealant and silicone smeared on tiles, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Porcupine questions
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cornwall.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Resealing in Porcupine: why it matters
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
