Common questions in Trebullett
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Trebullett?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How long will it take?
Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How long before I can shower?
Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Bath resealing at your home in Trebullett
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We’re frequently asked to fix black mould in the sealant and stained silicone, in wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When to call us in Trebullett
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.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps in the seal
- Stained silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray

When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A flexing bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Trebullett
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep the joints dry
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Air the room after use
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Trebullett. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Trebullett
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
