Bath resealing for Buck's Cross homes

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Bath resealing in Buck's Cross without replacing anything

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. If you are dealing with gaps in the seal and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can normally put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

How we price bath resealing

We don’t charge extra for travel to Buck's Cross. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most customers in Buck's Cross get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Do you need bath resealing in Buck's Cross?

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Common reasons people in Buck's Cross contact us are:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Damp near the bath
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps by the taps

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Questions from Buck's Cross

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you cover the entire of Devon?

Across the UK, so Buck's Cross is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
