What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Plumbley

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

How we handle bath resealing in Plumbley

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and gaps in the seal, in kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price bath resealing

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Common problems we fix in Plumbley

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Why it’s worth resealing in Plumbley

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Read our pricing.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Common questions in Plumbley

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

If you manage property in Plumbley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Open a window after bathing

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
