Bath resealing in Clyst Honiton, done in place

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. If you’re dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and damp near the bath, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Clyst Honiton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Signs you need bath resealing in Clyst Honiton

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps by the taps

Choosing a repair company

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Common questions in Clyst Honiton

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

How long before I can shower?

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

What areas do you cover?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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 OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes around two hours.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
