Your questions about bath resealing in St Ives
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A flexing bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Resealing in St Ives: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- One visit for most repairs

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- 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
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
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, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in St Ives, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Let steam out after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
