Bath resealing for Trawden homes

Resealing in Trawden: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

How we handle bath resealing in Trawden

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone smeared on tiles and sealant that’s split or lifting.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lancashire.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours, including clearing up.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

10 questions to ask before you book

Trawden questions

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Are there extra charges for Trawden?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

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.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How do I book?

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

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Trawden

If you manage property in Trawden, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
