Bath resealing for Lipson homes

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Bath resealing at your home in Lipson

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Typical jobs include black spots in the silicone and missing sealant behind the taps, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Lipson and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Lipson: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

How long does resealing take?

Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Do you cover Lipson?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Lipson and the rest of Plymouth. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Let steam out after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

How we price bath resealing

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Resealing in Lipson: why it matters

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lipson

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What we’re called out for in Lipson

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Gaps by the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who will actually do the work
