Bath resealing near Chawleigh

Bath resealing at your home in Chawleigh

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and an untidy old seal, we can typically put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Questions from Chawleigh

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you cover the whole of Devon?

Everywhere in the UK, Chawleigh included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Resealing in Chawleigh: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Take a look at our full price list.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Stained silicone
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

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