Bath resealing near Aylesbeare

About our bath resealing in Aylesbeare

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are leaks at the edges and unsealed corners.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Aylesbeare and across Devon.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What affects the price in Aylesbeare

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Common questions in Aylesbeare

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you cover the entire of Devon?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Typically because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No need to remove anything

Read our pricing.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What we are called out for in Aylesbeare

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Gaps in the seal

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice
