Bath resealing in Plymtree, done in place
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. If you are dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and a messy previous reseal, we can help, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Plymtree: your questions answered
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are there extra charges for Plymtree?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Signs you need bath resealing in Plymtree
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Leaks at the edges
- Black mould in the sealant
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Missing sealant behind the taps
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- How the room is protected while they work
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Air the room after use
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
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.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What bath resealing costs
We don’t charge extra for travel to Plymtree. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
