What areas do you cover?

How long before I can shower?

Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Nethercott.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Bath resealing in Nethercott, done in place
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you are dealing with gaps by the taps and old sealant that looks dirty, we can typically put it right.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

Do you need bath resealing in Nethercott?
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps in the seal
- Silicone smeared on tiles

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Landlord and trade work in Nethercott
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow around two hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
