Bath Resealing for Bridford homes
Bath resealing across Bridford and nearby, normally in one visit.
- Gaps in the seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Bath resealing at your home in Bridford
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you are dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, tidy-up included.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Signs you need bath resealing in Bridford
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Unsealed corners
- Stained silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Leaks at the edges
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Aftercare advice
- How your room will be protected
- Who will actually do the work
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Landlord and trade work in Bridford
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Common questions in Bridford
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
