Common questions in Morice Town
How long does silicone take to cure?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you cover the whole of Plymouth?
The entire UK, including all of Plymouth. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep the joints dry
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
