Bath resealing in Porthilly without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Our technicians work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are discoloured, yellow sealant and gaps in the seal.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Porthilly as everywhere else we work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PL27 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Porthilly
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time, typically around a day.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What bath resealing costs
There is no charge for travel to Porthilly. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Porthilly. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Why reseal now?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
