Prices and what affects them
There is no charge for travel to Honicknowle. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
For a price in Honicknowle, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How we handle bath resealing in Honicknowle
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and people most often call us about missing sealant behind the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Honicknowle and across Plymouth.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Use the extractor fan
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Landlord and trade work in Honicknowle
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Honicknowle as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
If you manage property in Honicknowle, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
