Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in New Inn, Devon
Bath resealing across New Inn and nearby, generally in one visit.
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Bath resealing in New Inn without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you’re dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

FAQs for New Inn
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Common problems we fix in New Inn
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Stained silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Missing sealant behind the taps

What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in New Inn, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Resealing in New Inn: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- We leave the room as we found it
- Everything repaired in place
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Let steam out after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
