Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in St Erth Praze, Cornwall
We travel to St Erth Praze for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Sealant that is split or lifting
Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TR27 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How we handle bath resealing in St Erth Praze
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are gaps in the seal and missing sealant behind the taps.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- 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
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep the joints dry
- Air the room after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
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. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A flexing bath
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
