Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Poughill, Devon
Bath resealing across Poughill and nearby, typically in one visit.
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Give the seal a regular clean
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
About our bath resealing in Poughill
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Our technicians work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about silicone coming away from the tiles and black mould in the sealant.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There’s 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Questions from Poughill
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your EX17 postcode.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Landlord and trade work in Poughill
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
About our accreditations · Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.
