FAQs for Southerton
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Do you come to Southerton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Southerton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover the entire of Devon?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How we handle bath resealing in Southerton
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are silicone smeared on tiles and gaps by the taps.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Signs you need bath resealing in Southerton
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- An untidy old seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Comparing quotes
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price covers travel
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
What affects the price in Southerton
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Southerton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
