Bath resealing in Twelvewoods without replacing anything
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Typical jobs include stained silicone and a messy previous reseal, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Twelvewoods and across Cornwall.

It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Landlord and trade work in Twelvewoods
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Why reseal now?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

When to call us in Twelvewoods
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Look out for these signs:
- An untidy old seal
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps by the taps
- Gaps in the seal

Your questions about bath resealing in Twelvewoods
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What affects the price in Twelvewoods
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Open a window after bathing
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
