Bath resealing in Axtown without replacing anything

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We are frequently asked to fix unsealed corners and sealant that’s split or lifting, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, 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 how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

Resealing in Axtown: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What bath resealing costs

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

When to call us in Axtown

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black spots in the silicone

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Aftercare advice
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Hidden water damage
  • A flexing bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms
