What bath resealing costs

We do not charge extra for travel to Pensilva. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PL14 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Do you need bath resealing in Pensilva?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Stained silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Comparing quotes

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Pensilva: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Do you come to Pensilva?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Pensilva. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is my repair covered?

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Pensilva clients choose us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage

Aftercare tips

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

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pensilva

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Pensilva, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
