How we handle bath resealing in Plealey

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are discoloured, yellow sealant and sealant that’s split or lifting.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Shropshire.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlord and trade work in Plealey

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Plealey. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything

Common questions in Plealey

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time, normally around a day.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Common problems we fix in Plealey

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Damp near the bath
  • An untidy old seal
  • Stained silicone

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • When it can be used again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
