- Stained silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Sealant that is split or lifting
How we handle bath resealing in Polbathic
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include mould you can’t clean out and gaps in the seal, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Landlord and trade work in Polbathic
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What bath resealing costs
There’s no area surcharge for Polbathic. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep the joints dry
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Your questions about bath resealing in Polbathic
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How much does bath resealing cost in Polbathic?
We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Do you need bath resealing in Polbathic?
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- Leaks at the edges
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Mould you cannot clean out
- An untidy old seal
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Aftercare advice
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day

Why it’s worth resealing in Polbathic
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
