Bath resealing at your home in Babbacombe
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Typical jobs include old sealant that looks dirty and a messy previous reseal, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Landlord and trade work in Babbacombe
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Babbacombe questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Are there extra charges for Babbacombe?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to around two hours.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage

How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

- Any details about the material
Most clients in Babbacombe get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Why reseal now?
