Bath resealing near Yelverton

Bath resealing in Yelverton without replacing anything

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths, and people most often call us about mould you can’t clean out and gaps by the taps.

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

Resealing in Yelverton: why it matters

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Let steam out after showers

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Yelverton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Yelverton questions

Do you cover the whole of Devon?

The whole UK, including all of Devon. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

How much does bath resealing cost in Yelverton?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time, usually around a day.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Is it messy?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
