Bath resealing at your home in Salem
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that’s split or lifting and missing sealant behind the taps.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Advice
What affects the price in Salem
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Resealing in Salem: why it matters
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why Salem customers choose us
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Everything repaired in place
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Fixed prices from your pictures

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
FAQs for Salem
Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?
Across the UK, and that includes Salem. Prices don’t change with location.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you come to Salem?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Salem and the rest of Cornwall. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Store bottles on a shelf
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
