What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the area is dry

Bath resealing in Northleigh without replacing anything

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. If you’re dealing with black spots in the silicone and gaps in the seal, we can typically put it right, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Resealing in Northleigh: 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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

  • Baths

Questions from Northleigh

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Northleigh?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you cover the entire of Devon?

Across the UK, and that includes Northleigh. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Landlord and trade work in Northleigh

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.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you are in Northleigh and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops
