Bath resealing in Darracott without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and people most often call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and black mould in the sealant.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

If you manage property in Darracott, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Darracott clients choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Darracott

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you cover the whole of Devon?

The entire UK, including all of Devon. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

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

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

What bath resealing costs

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
