About our bath resealing in Oldborough
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath or tray and mould you can’t clean out, across wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oldborough as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Keep the joints dry
- Use the extractor fan
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What bath resealing costs
We don’t charge extra for travel to Oldborough. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
FAQs for Oldborough
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the curing time from us, usually around a day.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
