Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Ruan Minor, Cornwall
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Ruan Minor, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Gaps in the seal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
How we handle bath resealing in Ruan Minor
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths, and common reasons people contact us are silicone smeared on tiles and black mould in the sealant.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep the joints dry
- Use the extractor fan
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Common problems we fix in Ruan Minor
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Unsealed corners
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

Ruan Minor questions
How long before I can shower?
You will get the curing time from us.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Do you come to Ruan Minor?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ruan Minor and the rest of Cornwall. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Resealing in Ruan Minor: why it matters
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- No extra charge for your area
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- One-year guarantee on every repair

What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take around two hours.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
