Bath resealing for Trelew homes

How we handle bath resealing in Trelew

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s leaks at the edges and stained silicone, we can normally put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage

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

What we work on

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

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Trelew. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What bath resealing costs

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

FAQs for Trelew

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Trelew included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Use the extractor fan

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Questions to ask before booking
