Bath resealing for Plaish homes

Bath resealing in Plaish, done in place

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We’re often asked to fix leaks at the edges and gaps in the seal, across wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Landlord and trade work in Plaish

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Related advice

Common problems we fix in Plaish

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Leaks at the edges
