Trusted bath resealing in Porthcurno

Bath resealing in Porthcurno, done in place

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Typical jobs include black mould in the sealant and silicone coming away from the tiles, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

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

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

Why it’s worth resealing in Porthcurno

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What affects the price in Porthcurno

Your questions about bath resealing in Porthcurno

Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?

The entire UK, including all of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Can landlords book you?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

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

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

How much does bath resealing cost in Porthcurno?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your TR19 postcode.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Porthcurno

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Porthcurno use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
