Bath resealing in Whitecross without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for damp near the bath and a messy previous reseal, across baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

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
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

FAQs for Whitecross
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Whitecross and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Do you need bath resealing in Whitecross?
Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Stained silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How your room will be protected
- Who turns up on the day
What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Whitecross. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Whitecross, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Air the room after use
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
