Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Ottery St Mary, Devon
Local bath resealing for Ottery St Mary: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.

Bath resealing in Ottery St Mary without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We’re often asked to fix old sealant that looks dirty and sealant that’s split or lifting, in baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
What we are called out for in Ottery St Mary
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- A messy previous reseal
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How long before I can shower?
