Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Bittaford, Devon

About our bath resealing in Bittaford
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you are dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and unsealed corners, we can typically put it right, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bittaford and across Devon.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Let steam out after showers
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Prices and what affects them
There is no area surcharge for Bittaford. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Why it’s worth resealing in Bittaford
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
