About our bath resealing in Sparkwell

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with gaps by the taps and silicone smeared on tiles, we can generally put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Sparkwell and across Plymouth.

FAQs for Sparkwell

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Sparkwell?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Why it’s worth resealing in Sparkwell

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No extra charge for your area
  • A fixed quote before booking

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hidden water damage

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 normally 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.

What we’re called out for in Sparkwell

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • Aftercare advice
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through 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.
