Bath resealing in Plantation Bridge

Bath resealing at your home in Plantation Bridge

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about silicone coming away from the tiles and gaps by the taps.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When to call us in Plantation Bridge

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Unsealed corners
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Landlord and trade work in Plantation Bridge

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Questions from Plantation Bridge

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Are there extra charges for Plantation Bridge?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Work done at your home or business

Read our prices page.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price
