Bath resealing for Mutley homes

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  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, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Stained silicone
  • Damp near the bath

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

FAQs for Mutley

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Usually after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Why it’s worth resealing in Mutley

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How we price bath resealing

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Mutley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most clients in Mutley get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Plymouth and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
