Bath resealing at your home in Great Plumstead

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about old sealant that looks dirty and water getting behind the bath or tray.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What bath resealing costs

There’s no charge for travel to Great Plumstead. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Landlord and trade work in Great Plumstead

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  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, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
