FAQs for Tredavoe

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Are there extra charges for Tredavoe?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Tredavoe.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Air the room after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Tredavoe

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

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  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, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Signs you need bath resealing in Tredavoe

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Look out for these signs:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

10 questions to ask before booking

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
