Bath resealing in Trentishoe

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Bath resealing in Trentishoe, done in place

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Common call-outs are for an untidy old seal and unsealed corners, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

Common questions in Trentishoe

Do you cover the entire of Devon?

We cover the whole UK, including Trentishoe and the rest of Devon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

What happens after I send photos?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can I add another job to the visit?

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We will give you the curing time.

How we price bath resealing

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Common problems we fix in Trentishoe

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Trentishoe

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
