Choosing a repair company

Bath resealing in Sennen Cove without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about gaps in the seal and damp near the bath.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Sennen Cove questions

How long does silicone take to cure?

Usually after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you cover Sennen Cove?

We do. We send a technician to Sennen Cove for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will it make a mess?

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

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TR19 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our prices page.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

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

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
