Bath resealing near Salcombe Regis

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Bath resealing at your home in Salcombe Regis

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Common call-outs are for black mould in the sealant and gaps by the taps, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Salcombe Regis, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to care for the repair

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

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Salcombe Regis use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Questions from Salcombe Regis

How long before I can shower?

Typically after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

How long will it take?

Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Normally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Salcombe Regis

Do you need bath resealing in Salcombe Regis?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Stained silicone

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the room is protected while they work
