Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in St Ruan, Cornwall
Bath resealing in and around St Ruan: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Damp near the bath
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
About our bath resealing in St Ruan
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and black mould in the sealant, we can typically put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Do you need bath resealing in St Ruan?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A messy previous reseal
- Unsealed corners
- Black mould in the sealant
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How the room is protected while they work
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Let steam out after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
St Ruan questions
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Typically after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Why reseal now?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No extra charge for your area
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Nothing taken out or refitted

How we price bath resealing
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
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.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
