Bath resealing near Horns Cross

Bath resealing in Horns Cross without replacing anything

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. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and people most often call us about silicone smeared on tiles and mould you can’t clean out.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Horns Cross

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Horns Cross

For anyone letting property in or around Horns Cross, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  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

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Common questions in Horns Cross

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Are there extra charges for Horns Cross?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you cover the entire of Devon?

We cover the entire UK, including Horns Cross and the rest of Devon. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

When to call us in Horns Cross

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Stained silicone
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
