Need bath resealing in Knowle?

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Bath resealing in Knowle without replacing anything

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are water getting behind the bath or tray and black mould in the sealant.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Your questions about bath resealing in Knowle

How long before I can shower?

Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you cover the entire of Devon?

Everywhere in the UK, Knowle included. Travel is included in the price.

Is it messy?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How long does a reseal take?

Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Knowle

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

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What we’re called out for in Knowle

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
