Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Tresevern Croft, Cornwall
Our repair technicians come to Tresevern Croft for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Leaks at the edges
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- A messy previous reseal
How we handle bath resealing in Tresevern Croft
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for unsealed corners and silicone smeared on tiles, in shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Let steam out after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Why it’s worth resealing in Tresevern Croft
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
