Bath resealing in Wheal Kitty, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We are frequently asked to fix silicone coming away from the tiles and an untidy old seal, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
Wheal Kitty questions
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Wheal Kitty and the rest of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
What we are called out for in Wheal Kitty
Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Black spots in the silicone
- A messy previous reseal
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How long it needs to cure
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly 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 will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Why it’s worth resealing in Wheal Kitty
Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
