Bath resealing in Chulmleigh without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are old sealant that looks dirty and mould you can’t clean out.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Chulmleigh as everywhere else we work.

Common problems we fix in Chulmleigh
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
The things clients typically mention when they call include:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps by the taps
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What prep work is covered

Questions from Chulmleigh
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
How long does a reseal take?
Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
How the visit works
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 are doing. It usually takes a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- 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, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Landlord and trade work in Chulmleigh
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around Chulmleigh, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Is resealing worth it?
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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
