How we handle bath resealing in Appledore
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with an untidy old seal and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Appledore
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
The process
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 around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Air the room after use
- Keep the joints dry
- Store bottles on a shelf
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Common questions in Appledore
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Appledore.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Do you cover Appledore?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Appledore and the rest of Devon. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
