Need bath resealing in Chevithorne?

Landlord and trade work in Chevithorne

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Bath resealing in Chevithorne, done in place

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about a messy previous reseal and black mould in the sealant.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EX16 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Common problems we fix in Chevithorne

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black mould in the sealant

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How to look after the finish

How to compare quotes

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Chevithorne: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

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

Do you work in Chevithorne?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Chevithorne and the rest of Devon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints

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.
