Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Compton, Torbay

- Leaks at the edges
- Black spots in the silicone
Bath resealing at your home in Compton
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We’re frequently asked to fix gaps by the taps and stained silicone, in kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
How we price bath resealing
There is no area surcharge for Compton. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
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.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Questions from Compton
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
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’ll say so.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
For a price in Compton, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
