Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Sandford, Devon
Our technicians come to Sandford for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- An untidy old seal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
How we handle bath resealing in Sandford
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are damp near the bath and stained silicone.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Questions from Sandford
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
How long does resealing take?
Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sandford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
What affects the price in Sandford
You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sandford as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
