Bath resealing in St Just

About our bath resealing in St Just

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for leaks at the edges and sealant that’s split or lifting, in wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How we price bath resealing

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Signs you need bath resealing in St Just

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Leaks at the edges
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Questions from St Just

Do you cover St Just?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to St Just from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Typically because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours, including clearing up.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
