Bath resealing in Upton Pyne without replacing anything

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s black mould in the sealant and leaks at the edges, we can generally put it right.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Upton Pyne

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

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

Upton Pyne: your questions answered

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Normally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How long does resealing take?

Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

How much does bath resealing cost in Upton Pyne?

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
