About our bath resealing in Plumpton
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for silicone coming away from the tiles and missing sealant behind the taps, across basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Common questions in Plumpton
Do you work in Plumpton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Plumpton. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cumbria.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Plumpton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What we are called out for in Plumpton
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps by the taps
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price covers travel
- What preparation is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What protection goes down before work starts
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Let steam out after showers
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Store bottles on a shelf
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

How we price bath resealing
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Plumpton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
