How we handle bath resealing in South Molton
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you’re dealing with black mould in the sealant and damp near the bath, we can help.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Signs you need bath resealing in South Molton
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- An untidy old seal
- Leaks at the edges
- Black spots in the silicone
- Old sealant that looks dirty
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Aftercare advice
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep the joints dry
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Use the extractor fan
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Advice
Prices and what affects them
There is no area surcharge for South Molton. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
