Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Treknow. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Bath resealing in Treknow without replacing anything

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We regularly repair wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about missing sealant behind the taps and an untidy old seal.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

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.

Common questions in Treknow

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you come to Treknow?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Treknow from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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

What bath resealing costs

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you are in Treknow and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When to call us in Treknow

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Leaks at the edges
  • A messy previous reseal

Questions to ask before you book

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How your room will be protected
