Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Atherington, Devon
Bath resealing across Atherington and nearby, normally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Leaks at the edges
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- An untidy old seal
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Your questions about bath resealing in Atherington
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Do you work in Atherington?
We do. We send a technician to Atherington for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Atherington and the rest of Devon. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Are there extra charges for Atherington?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Signs you need bath resealing in Atherington
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Stained silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How soon you can use it again
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if they find more damage

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep bottles off the joints
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
