Trusted bath resealing in Porthallow

Bath resealing in Porthallow, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are a messy previous reseal and leaks at the edges.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  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

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Resealing in Porthallow: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How we price bath resealing

We do not charge extra for travel to Porthallow. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What we’re called out for in Porthallow

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Mould you can’t clean out

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How to look after the finish
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

Porthallow: your questions answered

How long before I can shower?

You will get the curing time from us.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

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.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
