About our bath resealing in Plumtree

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s a messy previous reseal and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help, whatever the material.

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

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Do you need bath resealing in Plumtree?

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Damp near the bath

Choosing a repair company

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Plumtree questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

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

Why does mould come back so fast?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Plumtree.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
