Trusted bath resealing in Plaistow

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Bath resealing in Plaistow, done in place

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Common call-outs are for unsealed corners and sealant that’s split or lifting, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Questions from Plaistow

Does someone need to be in?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What bath resealing costs

We don’t charge extra for travel to Plaistow. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

For a price in Plaistow, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Plaistow

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.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What preparation is included
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
