How we handle bath resealing in Venn Ottery

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths, and people most often call us about damp near the bath and missing sealant behind the taps.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Common questions in Venn Ottery

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you work in Venn Ottery?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Venn Ottery for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do you cover the entire of Devon?

The whole UK, including all of Devon. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Air the room after use

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, 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. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Everything repaired in place

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

Do you need bath resealing in Venn Ottery?

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

What bath resealing costs

There’s no area surcharge for Venn Ottery. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

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.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
