Our hiring checklist

Bath resealing at your home in North Tawton

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat 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. We’re frequently asked to fix stained silicone and an untidy old seal, on wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths
  • Wet rooms

Landlords, agents and businesses in North Tawton

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Common questions in North Tawton

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

How the visit works

  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.
