Bath Resealing in Bude
Bath resealing in and around Bude: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- A messy previous reseal
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Bath resealing in Bude, done in place
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Typical jobs include a messy previous reseal and black mould in the sealant, in wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Common questions in Bude
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Bude?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you come to Bude?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Bude. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
When to call us in Bude
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Gaps in the seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- An untidy old seal
- Mould you cannot clean out

Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Other services in Bude
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Use the extractor fan
- Air the room after use
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
