Bath resealing in Bishopsteignton

Bath resealing in Bishopsteignton without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths, and people most often call us about unsealed corners and silicone coming away from the tiles.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

FAQs for Bishopsteignton

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

When to call us in Bishopsteignton

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • A messy previous reseal

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Bishopsteignton

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

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Bishopsteignton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it

  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
