Bath resealing in Burlescombe, done in place

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are mould you can’t clean out and silicone coming away from the tiles.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we price bath resealing

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Air the room after use

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

What happens on the day

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’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Questions from Burlescombe

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

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

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
