Bath resealing in Salcombe without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and missing sealant behind the taps, in kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Salcombe and across Devon.

Questions from Salcombe

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Devon.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Are you accredited?

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

How long does silicone take to cure?

Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Resealing in Salcombe: why it matters

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Salcombe, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What bath resealing costs

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Salcombe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When to call us in Salcombe

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Leaks at the edges

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
