Why it’s worth resealing in Truro
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Bath resealing in Truro without replacing anything
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. If you are dealing with leaks at the edges and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can normally put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Truro and across Cornwall.

Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
What we are called out for in Truro
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Look out for these signs:
- Gaps by the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps in the seal
- Silicone smeared on tiles

Questions from Truro
How long before I can shower?
Usually after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Open a window after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit

- Keep a parking space free if you can

Other services in Truro
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Truro use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Truro, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
