Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

FAQs for Ivybridge
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Why it’s worth resealing in Ivybridge
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Air the room after use
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A flexing bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
