Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Landlord and trade work in Bantham Cross
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bantham Cross use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Air the room after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Signs you need bath resealing in Bantham Cross
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Black spots in the silicone
- A messy previous reseal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if they find more damage
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures

Advice
Common questions in Bantham Cross
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Bantham Cross?
We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your TQ7 postcode.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
