Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Polperro, Cornwall
Bath resealing in Polperro without the cost of replacing. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, then we come to you.
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps by the taps
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
About our bath resealing in Polperro
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We’re frequently asked to fix gaps by the taps and silicone smeared on tiles, in kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Polperro
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Your questions about bath resealing in Polperro
Do you come to Polperro?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Polperro. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Polperro included. Travel is included in the price.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Polperro?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why Polperro clients choose us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Nothing taken out or refitted

What bath resealing costs
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
