How we handle bath resealing in Bovey Tracey
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We’re often asked to fix missing sealant behind the taps and mould you can’t clean out, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bovey Tracey as everywhere else we work.

Bovey Tracey: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TQ13 postcode.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Devon.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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.

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep the joints dry
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What affects the price in Bovey Tracey
You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
