Bath resealing at your home in Polmear

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Common call-outs are for silicone coming away from the tiles and mould you can’t clean out, across shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Polmear as everywhere else we work.

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Polmear

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

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Polmear

For anyone letting property in or around Polmear, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Polmear questions

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Polmear?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Polmear is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you cover Polmear?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Polmear and the rest of Cornwall. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Common problems we fix in Polmear

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • An untidy old seal

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Polmear

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Air the room after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
