Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How we price bath resealing
We don’t charge extra for travel to Tolgullow. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures

Common questions in Tolgullow
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Generally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
What we’re called out for in Tolgullow
Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Common reasons people in Tolgullow contact us include:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- A messy previous reseal
- Leaks at the edges
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How changes to the job are handled
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for around two hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
