How we handle bath resealing in Polebrook

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about black spots in the silicone and gaps by the taps.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Polebrook

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

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Your questions about bath resealing in Polebrook

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you cover Polebrook?

We do. We send a technician to Polebrook for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
