Bath resealing at your home in Laira

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include silicone smeared on tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray, across kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Take a look at our pricing.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Laira: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you cover the entire of Plymouth?

We cover the whole UK, including Laira and the rest of Plymouth. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Shower trays & enclosures

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

What bath resealing costs

There is no area surcharge for Laira. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Laira, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
