Prices and what affects them

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for East Devon. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EX5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How we handle bath resealing in East Devon

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths, and people most frequently call us about an untidy old seal and damp near the bath.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

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

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath

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

What we work on

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

10 questions to ask before you book

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Air the room after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
