How we handle bath resealing in Dawlish
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. If you are dealing with mould you can’t clean out and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hollow or loose tiles
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Why it’s worth resealing in Dawlish
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A few things move the price: 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.

Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
FAQs for Dawlish
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Prices and what affects them
There’s no charge for travel to Dawlish. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it

Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dawlish
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
