Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Kenn, Devon
Our repair technicians come to Kenn for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- An untidy old seal
- Unsealed corners
- Stained silicone
How we handle bath resealing in Kenn
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We’re often asked to fix mould you can’t clean out and sealant that’s split or lifting, across kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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.
Your questions about bath resealing in Kenn
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Devon.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you cover the entire of Devon?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Kenn?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Air the room after use
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Store bottles on a shelf
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, 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.
Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Kenn. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
