Bath resealing in Lydford, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s black mould in the sealant and an untidy old seal, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
How to get 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 over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
When to call us in Lydford
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

How we price bath resealing
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EX20 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
FAQs for Lydford
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you cover the entire of Devon?
Across the UK, and that includes Lydford. Prices do not change with location.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Are there extra charges for Lydford?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
