Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in North Molton, Devon
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in North Molton, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps in the seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- A messy previous reseal
Bath resealing in North Molton, done in place
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are unsealed corners and silicone coming away from the tiles.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in North Molton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Common questions in North Molton
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Are there extra charges for North Molton?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 usually the cheaper route.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Resealing in North Molton: 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. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
