Bath resealing in Polruan without replacing anything
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are stained silicone and gaps in the seal.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Polruan as everywhere else we work.

What affects the price in Polruan
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price.

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Let steam out after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Other services in Polruan
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
