Advice
How we handle bath resealing in St Merryn
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and black mould in the sealant.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in St Merryn and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Work for landlords and builders
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.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Merryn use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Keep the joints dry
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Do you need bath resealing in St Merryn?
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles

St Merryn questions
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long does a reseal take?
Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
