Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Alswear, Devon
We travel to Alswear for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Damp near the bath
- Gaps in the seal
- Unsealed corners
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep the joints dry
- Let steam out after showers
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally 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.
Bath resealing in Alswear without replacing anything
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. If you’re dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and black spots in the silicone, we can normally put it right, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What else we do in Alswear
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Hidden water damage
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Alswear
- No extra charge for your area
- One visit for most repairs

What bath resealing costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Common questions in Alswear
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Devon.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How much does bath resealing cost in Alswear?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
