About our bath resealing in Taddiport

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths, and people most frequently call us about leaks at the edges and sealant that’s split or lifting.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Taddiport as everywhere else we work.

Common questions in Taddiport

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do you come to Taddiport?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Taddiport from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How long before I can shower?

Typically after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

Resealing in Taddiport: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Taddiport

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Mould you cannot clean out

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

What affects the price in Taddiport

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
