Bath resealing in Burston, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you are dealing with an untidy old seal and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Burston and across Devon.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t 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 trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common problems we fix in Burston

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

Common reasons people in Burston contact us are:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Gaps by the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Your questions about bath resealing in Burston

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

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

We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Burston. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
