Bath Resealing for South Petherwin homes
We travel to South Petherwin for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in South Petherwin, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
About our bath resealing in South Petherwin
A fresh seal protects 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 old sealant that looks dirty and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why reseal now?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Advice
What we’re called out for in South Petherwin
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Stained silicone
- A messy previous reseal
- Damp near the bath
Comparing quotes
- How long it needs to cure
- What preparation is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Aftercare advice
South Petherwin: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Air the room after use
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Dry the seal after bathing
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
