Bath resealing in St Ives without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s a messy previous reseal and unsealed corners, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for St Ives. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why St Ives clients choose us
- One price list for the entire UK
- No need to remove anything
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
Questions from St Ives
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Open a window after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
