Bath resealing at your home in Plungar

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for missing sealant behind the taps and silicone smeared on tiles, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Questions from Plungar

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Nottinghamshire.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most customers in Plungar get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep the joints dry

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our pricing.

What we are called out for in Plungar

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps by the taps

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
