Bath resealing in Highweek, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and people most frequently call us about a messy previous reseal and leaks at the edges.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Highweek and across Devon.

How we price bath resealing

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Highweek use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Air the room after use
  • Use the extractor fan

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Questions from Highweek

Are there extra charges for Highweek?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Most customers in Highweek get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Resealing in Highweek: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

See our prices page.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
