About our bath resealing in New Polzeath

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units alike.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Polzeath use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Read our pricing.

What we are called out for in New Polzeath

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • An untidy old seal

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Aftercare advice
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
