What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Bath resealing in Polyphant without replacing anything

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s stained silicone and gaps in the seal, we can help.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Polyphant. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Polyphant

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Signs you need bath resealing in Polyphant

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black spots in the silicone

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Open a window after bathing

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Common questions in Polyphant

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
