Bath resealing in South Tawton

How we handle bath resealing in South Tawton

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Whether it’s stained silicone and gaps by the taps, we can generally put it right.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When to call us in South Tawton

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Stained silicone

Our hiring checklist

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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

Your questions about bath resealing in South Tawton

Is my repair covered?

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

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the curing time from us, generally around a day.

Do you cover the whole of Devon?

Everywhere in the UK, South Tawton included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How much does bath resealing cost in South Tawton?

We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your EX20 postcode.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
