Choosing a repair company

About our bath resealing in Budleigh Salterton

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We are often asked to fix an untidy old seal and gaps in the seal, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Why it’s worth resealing in Budleigh Salterton

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Take a look at our full price list.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Budleigh Salterton

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

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
