Advice
Bath resealing at your home in St Austell
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include silicone coming away from the tiles and silicone smeared on tiles, in wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
- Air the room after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
