Bath Resealing in Shaldon
We travel to Shaldon for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Stained silicone
- Damp near the bath
How we handle bath resealing in Shaldon
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. If you’re dealing with discoloured, yellow sealant and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Shaldon. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common problems we fix in Shaldon
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Leaks at the edges
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Old sealant that looks dirty

Your questions about bath resealing in Shaldon
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are there extra charges for Shaldon?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shaldon
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Why it’s worth resealing in Shaldon
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
