About our bath resealing in Devonside

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include old sealant that looks dirty and a messy previous reseal, across shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What we’re called out for in Devonside

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Stained silicone
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black mould in the sealant

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Devonside

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms
  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. 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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your FK13 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

FAQs for Devonside

Which areas do you work in?

All of Clackmannanshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
