  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

FAQs for Buckland

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

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.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Buckland?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TQ7 postcode.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Common problems we fix in Buckland

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

People generally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Damp near the bath

Comparing quotes

  • When it can be used again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. 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.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint 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

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
