Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in St Germans, Cornwall
Local bath resealing for St Germans: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Damp near the bath
- Gaps by the taps
- A messy previous reseal
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
About our bath resealing in St Germans
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 mould you can’t clean out and gaps by the taps, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Signs you need bath resealing in St Germans
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Gaps by the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Stained silicone
Questions to ask before booking
- Aftercare advice
- What preparation is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price covers travel
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Use the extractor fan
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Questions from St Germans
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take around two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Landlord and trade work in St Germans
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
