Bath resealing at your home in South Pill
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are silicone coming away from the tiles and black mould in the sealant.
Every job is backed for twelve months in South Pill and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in South Pill
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Typically because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including South Pill and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Do you cover South Pill?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to South Pill and the rest of Cornwall. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
How much does bath resealing cost in South Pill?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Hidden water damage
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

What else we do in South Pill
When to call us in South Pill
Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A messy previous reseal
- Black mould in the sealant
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Before booking anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How to look after the finish
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Air the room after use
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in South Pill, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. 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.
