Bath resealing in Portreath without replacing anything
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We are frequently asked to fix gaps by the taps and black spots in the silicone, in wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Portreath and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Air the room after use
- Use the extractor fan
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
What we are called out for in Portreath
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Unsealed corners
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Damp near the bath
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- Who turns up on the day
- How to look after the finish
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Portreath use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
