Bath resealing near Sticklepath

Bath resealing in Sticklepath, done in place

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are silicone coming away from the tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths
  • Wet rooms

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Avoid scraping the joints, 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 will say if you need a builder or plumber.

What bath resealing costs

You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Do you need bath resealing in Sticklepath?

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Gaps by the taps

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How soon you can use it again
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What prep work is covered

Questions from Sticklepath

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Devon. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

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.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Sticklepath, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sticklepath use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price
