How we handle bath resealing in St Erth
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with a messy previous reseal and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
When to call us in St Erth
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What affects the price in St Erth
We charge the same across the UK, including St Erth. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
St Erth questions
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How much does bath resealing cost in St Erth?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
