About our bath resealing in Ernesettle

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Whether it’s a messy previous reseal and gaps in the seal, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Questions from Ernesettle

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Do you cover the entire of Plymouth?

Everywhere in the UK, Ernesettle included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

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

Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your PL5 postcode.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Landlord and trade work in Ernesettle

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.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Let steam out after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Related advice

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Everything repaired in place

When to call us in Ernesettle

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Stained silicone
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • If travel is included in the price

What affects the price in Ernesettle

We charge the same across the UK, including Ernesettle. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
