Bath Resealing in Staddiscombe
Local bath resealing for Staddiscombe: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- An untidy old seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black spots in the silicone
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep the joints dry
- Open a window after bathing
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Bath resealing in Staddiscombe without replacing anything
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths, and people most often call us about unsealed corners and an untidy old seal.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Your questions about bath resealing in Staddiscombe
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Plymouth.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you cover the whole of Plymouth?

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What else we do in Staddiscombe
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Common problems we fix in Staddiscombe
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Before you book anyone
- What preparation is included
- Who turns up on the day
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
