Bath resealing for Ivybridge homes

Why it’s worth resealing in Ivybridge

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What affects the price in Ivybridge

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most clients in Ivybridge get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a couple of hours. The room is left tidy.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with 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

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

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

Landlord and trade work in Ivybridge

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Signs you need bath resealing in Ivybridge

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Stained silicone
  • An untidy old seal

How to compare quotes

Ivybridge: your questions answered

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
