Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Dartington, Devon
We travel to Dartington for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Damp near the bath
- A messy previous reseal
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Air the room after use
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Bath resealing at your home in Dartington
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are damp near the bath and silicone smeared on tiles.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Questions from Dartington
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Devon.

What we’re called out for in Dartington
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- An untidy old seal
- Unsealed corners
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Mould you cannot clean out
Questions to ask before you book
- How to look after the finish
- Who will actually do the work
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
What bath resealing costs
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 typically cheaper.
Resealing in Dartington: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- One price list for the whole UK
- Everything repaired in place
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
Read our pricing.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Hidden water damage
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
