Bath resealing in Salterton

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Bath resealing in Salterton, done in place

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include gaps by the taps and black mould in the sealant, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Salterton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Use the extractor fan

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Salterton questions

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What happens next?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

How much does bath resealing cost in Salterton?

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SP4 postcode.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
