Questions from Plain-an-Gwarry
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
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.
Do you come to Plain-an-Gwarry?
We do. Technicians travel to Plain-an-Gwarry from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
How long does resealing take?
Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
How we handle bath resealing in Plain-an-Gwarry
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are black spots in the silicone and discoloured, yellow sealant.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Air the room after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
How we price bath resealing
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- No extra charge for your area

Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A flexing bath
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take around two hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Landlords, agents and businesses in Plain-an-Gwarry
If you manage property in Plain-an-Gwarry, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
