Bath resealing for Northam homes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

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

Bath resealing in Northam without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and black mould in the sealant, in kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Keep bottles off the joints

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

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

How to compare quotes

Questions from Northam

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Do you come to Northam?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Northam. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Do you cover the whole of Devon?

We cover the whole UK, including Northam and the rest of Devon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Landlord and trade work in Northam

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Why it’s worth resealing in Northam

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Work done at your home or business

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
