Bath resealing in Galmpton, done in place

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are missing sealant behind the taps and leaks at the edges.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Signs you need bath resealing in Galmpton

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Unsealed corners

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Galmpton

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For a price in Galmpton, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

FAQs for Galmpton

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Do you cover the entire of Devon?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Galmpton. Prices do not change with location.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Galmpton

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
