Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Poundstock, Cornwall
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Poundstock, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Damp near the bath

- Black mould in the sealant
What bath resealing costs
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Bath resealing in Poundstock, done in place
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can typically put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Poundstock, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
What your quote should include

Poundstock: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you come to Poundstock?
We do. We send a technician to Poundstock for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Hidden water damage
- Movement in the bath or tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Landlord and trade work in Poundstock
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Poundstock use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Open a window after bathing
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Why reseal now?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
