Trusted bath resealing in Devoran

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Bath resealing in Devoran, done in place

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and people most often call us about missing sealant behind the taps and old sealant that looks dirty.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Devoran and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Devoran: your questions answered

Do you cover Devoran?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Devoran. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Prices and what affects them

There is no charge for travel to Devoran. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Devoran. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Devoran

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

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Common problems we fix in Devoran

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Damp near the bath
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 generally the cheaper route.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  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. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
