Bath Resealing for St Keyne homes
Our technicians come to St Keyne for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Black mould in the sealant
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- An untidy old seal
Bath resealing in St Keyne, done in place
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for discoloured, yellow sealant and gaps in the seal, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

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
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a couple of hours. We leave the room clean.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
Signs you need bath resealing in St Keyne
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps by the taps
- Gaps in the seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Air the room after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Give the seal a regular clean
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Why it’s worth resealing in St Keyne
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for St Keyne. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How we price bath resealing
We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
St Keyne questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are there extra charges for St Keyne?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
