Resealing in Plympton: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

About our bath resealing in Plympton
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Typical jobs include leaks at the edges and missing sealant behind the taps, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Plymouth.

What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Plympton
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Do you need bath resealing in Plympton?

Common reasons people in Plympton contact us include:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps by the taps
What your quote should include

Plympton questions
How long before I can shower?
Typically after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Do you come to Plympton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Plympton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
