About our bath resealing in Southway
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths, and the jobs we see most are leaks at the edges and discoloured, yellow sealant.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

About Southway
Southway is about 3 miles north of Plymouth, in Plymouth. We visit homes and businesses in Southway and nearby villages, so there is no workshop to go to. Southway is one of 59 places in Plymouth we cover.
We work across PL6 and PL5 and the streets around it. That includes homes on Waring Road, Dunnet Road and Southway Lane. We also cover the places around Southway: Manadon (1 mile south), Whitleigh (1 mile south-west), Tamerton Foliot (1 mile west), Crownhill (1 mile south) and Roborough (1 mile north-east). Further out, we also cover Plymouth (3 miles south), Mannamead (3 miles south), Lipson (4 miles south), Mutley (3 miles south), North Prospect (3 miles south-west) and Stoke (4 miles south-west).
Landmarks near Southway
Typical jobs here are in homes near Notre Dame RC School, Falstaff pub and Beechwood Primary Academy, among other places. You will also find Southway Library (within half a mile north-east) and Church of the Holy Spirit (under half a mile north-east). Southway’s nearest station is Bere Ferrers station, about 2.7 miles north-west of the centre. Further afield, we also cover the area around Tamar Belle Visitor Centre (2.7 miles north-west) and Derriford Hospital (1.1 miles south-east).
Southway: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you cover the whole of Plymouth?
All of Plymouth, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Southway

Resealing in Southway: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
What you get with us
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Everything repaired in place
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Landlord and trade work in Southway
For anyone letting property in or around Southway, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Southway as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use the extractor fan
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Dry the seal after bathing
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Southway. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
