Bath resealing in Shebbear without replacing anything

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and black mould in the sealant.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Why it’s worth resealing in Shebbear

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

FAQs for Shebbear

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Air the room after use
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

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

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

How we price bath resealing

There is no area surcharge for Shebbear. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes around two hours.

  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

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
