How we handle bath resealing in Ashprington

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We’re often asked to fix missing sealant behind the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Ashprington and across Devon.

FAQs for Ashprington

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Ashprington?

Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

How long before I can shower?

Usually after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Prices and what affects them

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

For a price in Ashprington, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Air the room after use

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ashprington use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
