Bath resealing in Probus

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Probus

  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

When to call us in Probus

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Questions to ask before you book

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

Probus: your questions answered

Which areas do you work in?

All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Do you cover Probus?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Probus. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How we price bath resealing

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Probus clients choose us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

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

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
