Trusted bath resealing in Tremethick Cross

How we handle bath resealing in Tremethick Cross

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are old sealant that looks dirty and damp near the bath.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

Landlord and trade work in Tremethick Cross

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

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.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Read our prices page.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Tremethick Cross: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?

Everywhere in the UK, Tremethick Cross included. Travel is included in the price.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
