Bath resealing at your home in Hartland
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Common call-outs are for leaks at the edges and old sealant that looks dirty, across kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Use the extractor fan
- Open a window after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Questions from Hartland
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you cover Hartland?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hartland and the rest of Devon. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Hartland?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Movement in the bath or tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

- Gaps in the seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black spots in the silicone

Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
