Bath Resealing across Devon

How bath resealing works in Devon

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We are often asked to fix sealant that’s split or lifting and discoloured, yellow sealant, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Should you replace it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors.

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Signs you need bath resealing

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Unsealed corners
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Your questions about bath resealing in Devon

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Do you cover Devon?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Devon. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
