Bath resealing for Modbury homes

Bath resealing at your home in Modbury

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Typical jobs include gaps by the taps and gaps in the seal, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What affects the price in Modbury

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PL21 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we’re called out for in Modbury

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Leaks at the edges

What your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Common questions in Modbury

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Typically after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Air the room after use
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

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, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
