About our bath resealing in Colebrook

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and discoloured, yellow sealant.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Colebrook and across Devon.

Can I fix it myself?

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

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Colebrook

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Leaks at the edges

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Colebrook

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
