About our bath resealing in Terras

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and sealant that’s split or lifting, across kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  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

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

What affects the price in Terras

We do not charge extra for travel to Terras. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Open a window after bathing

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Terras

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Terras questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What areas do you cover?

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

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
