Bath resealing in Plymstock, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include unsealed corners and discoloured, yellow sealant, in shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Plymstock

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we are called out for in Plymstock

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Unsealed corners

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Give the seal a regular clean

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
