Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Bickleigh, Plymouth
Bath resealing in Bickleigh without the cost of replacing. Send us pictures for a fixed price, then book a visit.
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Air the room after use
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Bath resealing in Bickleigh without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What else we do in Bickleigh

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Bickleigh questions
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
When to call us in Bickleigh
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Common reasons people in Bickleigh contact us include:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Unsealed corners

How we price bath resealing
There’s no area surcharge for Bickleigh. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
