Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Mid Devon, Devon
We travel to Mid Devon for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.

- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps in the seal
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Bath resealing in Mid Devon, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths, and people most frequently call us about damp near the bath and unsealed corners.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- How many areas need work
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Mid Devon, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
FAQs for Mid Devon
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Mid Devon
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mid Devon as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Resealing in Mid Devon: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Do you need bath resealing in Mid Devon?
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- When it can be used again
- How the colour is matched
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
