Bath resealing in Trelights

About our bath resealing in Trelights

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you are dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and leaks at the edges, we can usually put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Trelights and across Cornwall.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What affects the price in Trelights

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Use the extractor fan

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Trelights

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 won’t last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Common problems we fix in Trelights

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Common reasons people in Trelights contact us include:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Trelights?

Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your PL29 postcode.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
