Bath resealing in Port Isaac

About our bath resealing in Port Isaac

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

Common problems we fix in Port Isaac

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • An untidy old seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What prep work is covered
  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Your questions about bath resealing in Port Isaac

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What bath resealing costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Air the room after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Resealing in Port Isaac: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Landlord and trade work in Port Isaac

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Port Isaac as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
