How we handle bath resealing in Wonford
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone coming away from the tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Wonford and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

FAQs for Wonford
Do you cover the entire of Devon?
The entire UK, including all of Devon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover Wonford?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Wonford and the rest of Devon. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Air the room after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What bath resealing costs
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
