Bath resealing in Ilfracombe without replacing anything
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are an untidy old seal and sealant that’s split or lifting.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A flexing bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
What affects the price in Ilfracombe
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

What we are called out for in Ilfracombe
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Unsealed corners
- Gaps in the seal
- Stained silicone
- A messy previous reseal

- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Open a window after bathing
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Your questions about bath resealing in Ilfracombe
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
