Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Bath resealing at your home in West Hoe

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. If you are dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and unsealed corners, we can help, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

West Hoe questions

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Plymouth.

Do you cover the whole of Plymouth?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Resealing in West Hoe: why it matters

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One price list for the whole UK

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Common problems we fix in West Hoe

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Damp near the bath
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • An untidy old seal

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for West Hoe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

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 over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

For anyone letting property in or around West Hoe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
