About our bath resealing in Kingswear

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s a messy previous reseal and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can help, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kingswear

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Common problems we fix in Kingswear

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Unsealed corners
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Is resealing worth it?

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. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Questions from Kingswear

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Devon. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
