DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Resealing in Wall: local notes
If you manage a building such as Gwinear Community Primary School, we repair changing rooms and washrooms as well as work in homes. Landlords with property near Hayle station (about 3 miles west) use us between tenancies, so baths and showers are repaired rather than replaced.
Wall is about 3 miles south-west of Camborne, in Cornwall. We agree a date that works for you, and you’ll know when to expect us, so there’s no waiting around. Wall is one of 644 towns and villages in Cornwall where we work.

What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Your questions about bath resealing in Wall
Do you come out to small places like Wall?
Of course; we work in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking when you book.
Can you redo the sealant around baths and showers at a school or business in Wall?
Yes, and we’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited. Tell us about access and timings for the building.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Let steam out after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Wall
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it. In a village or hamlet like Wall, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- 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.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space clear if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

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.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. In an older home in a village like Wall, replacing a bath or shower can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wall. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
