Bath resealing near Buckerell

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

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

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Bath resealing at your home in Buckerell

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We’re often asked to fix gaps in the seal and an untidy old seal, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

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

What we are called out for in Buckerell

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Questions to ask before you book

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • The material

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you’re in Buckerell and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Buckerell

Buckerell: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you work in Buckerell?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Buckerell and the rest of Devon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Buckerell. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
