Bath resealing in Tideford, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are discoloured, yellow sealant and gaps by the taps.

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black spots in the silicone

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

FAQs for Tideford

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time, normally around a day.

Do you work in Tideford?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Tideford from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Tideford and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How we price bath resealing

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.
