Trusted bath resealing in St Minver

About our bath resealing in St Minver

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. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and stained silicone.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in St Minver

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Why it’s worth resealing in St Minver

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

St Minver: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

What affects the price in St Minver

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures

What we’re called out for in St Minver

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Gaps by the taps

Before booking anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

10 questions to ask before booking

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
