About our bath resealing in Trebilcock

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include old sealant that looks dirty and leaks at the edges, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Trebilcock

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

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our prices page.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Let steam out after showers

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath. The room is left tidy.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Trebilcock, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Questions from Trebilcock

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

What affects the price in Trebilcock

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
