Bath resealing near Saltash

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

About our bath resealing in Saltash

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 resealing puts a stop to that. If you are dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and a messy previous reseal, we can help, on baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Saltash

If you manage property in Saltash, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Questions from Saltash

Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?

We cover the whole UK, including Saltash and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How long does a reseal take?

Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Saltash

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

Before you book anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Saltash, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Resealing in Saltash: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Saltash. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area

Take a look at our pricing.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
