Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Shillingford, Devon
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Shillingford, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps in the seal
- Leaks at the edges
- Black spots in the silicone
Bath resealing in Shillingford, done in place
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for black mould in the sealant and unsealed corners, in basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What else we do in Shillingford
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Shillingford
- Shower trays & enclosures

Do you need bath resealing in Shillingford?
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

- Water getting behind the bath or tray
