Bath resealing at your home in Combe Martin

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for discoloured, yellow sealant and leaks at the edges, in shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Do you need bath resealing in Combe Martin?

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How your room will be protected
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How to care for the finish

How to compare quotes

Resealing in Combe Martin: why it matters

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Your questions about bath resealing in Combe Martin

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

How much does bath resealing cost in Combe Martin?

We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

What bath resealing costs

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

If you’re in Combe Martin and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes around two hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
