Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Sheviock, Cornwall
Our technicians come to Sheviock for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps in the seal
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Air the room after use
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Bath resealing in Sheviock without replacing anything
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are damp near the bath and black spots in the silicone.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
What we are called out for in Sheviock
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Look out for these signs:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Leaks at the edges
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- An untidy old seal
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
- What preparation is included
- How the room is protected while they work

Your questions about bath resealing in Sheviock
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Landlord and trade work in Sheviock
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Why it’s worth resealing in Sheviock
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
