Trusted bath resealing in Cheston

Bath resealing in Cheston without replacing anything

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and a messy previous reseal, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

What we are called out for in Cheston

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about bath resealing in Cheston

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Devon.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Usually after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Are you accredited?

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

Do you cover the entire of Devon?

We cover the entire UK, including Cheston and the rest of Devon. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Cheston clients choose us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • No need to remove anything

See our prices page.

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cheston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
