Bath resealing in Payhembury

Bath resealing at your home in Payhembury

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and people most frequently call us about gaps in the seal and stained silicone.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Payhembury

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black spots in the silicone

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about bath resealing in Payhembury

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You’ll get the curing time from us, normally around a day.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Are there extra charges for Payhembury?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you cover the whole of Devon?

All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Landlord and trade work in Payhembury

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Let steam out after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Read our pricing.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
