Bath resealing near Sutcombe

Bath resealing in Sutcombe without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for gaps in the seal and damp near the bath, in baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

If you’re in Sutcombe and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Sutcombe questions

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Do you work in Sutcombe?

We do. We send a technician to Sutcombe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What areas do you cover?

All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Air the room after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What we are called out for in Sutcombe

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

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps by the taps

Before you book anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sutcombe use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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