Bath resealing at your home in Trebarber
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Whether it’s unsealed corners and an untidy old seal, we can typically put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Your questions about bath resealing in Trebarber
Do you come to Trebarber?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Trebarber from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Hidden water damage
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When to call us in Trebarber
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Common reasons people in Trebarber contact us are:
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps by the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps in the seal
Comparing quotes
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What prep work is covered
