About our bath resealing in Pennycross
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include damp near the bath and silicone coming away from the tiles, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Plymouth.

FAQs for Pennycross
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Plymouth. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How we price bath resealing
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most clients in Pennycross get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Do you need bath resealing in Pennycross?
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps in the seal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep bottles off the joints
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
