Bath resealing for St Teath homes

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Teath as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

How we handle bath resealing in St Teath

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s mould you can’t clean out and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can typically put it right.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in St Teath and across Cornwall.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What affects the price in St Teath

You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Do you need bath resealing in St Teath?

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Stained silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
