Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Upottery, Devon

- Silicone smeared on tiles
How we handle bath resealing in Upottery
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are silicone smeared on tiles and missing sealant behind the taps.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Why it’s worth resealing in Upottery
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Upottery. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep bottles off the joints
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Upottery, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
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 is easier on the people living there.
The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

FAQs for Upottery
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Upottery?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What we’re called out for in Upottery
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
