Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Tregoodwell questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Are there extra charges for Tregoodwell?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How much does bath resealing cost in Tregoodwell?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Prices and what affects them
We do not charge extra for travel to Tregoodwell. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Tregoodwell
Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

- A messy previous reseal

What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Movement in the bath or tray

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
