About our bath resealing in Chivenor
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. If you are dealing with leaks at the edges and gaps in the seal, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures alike.

When to call us in Chivenor
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Unsealed corners
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

Chivenor questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you cover the whole of Devon?
We cover the whole UK, including Chivenor and the rest of Devon. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Normally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EX31 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in Chivenor, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Why it’s worth resealing in Chivenor
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

- Natural light rather than flash

- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Air the room after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
