Bath resealing in Trelowth without replacing anything

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat 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. If you are dealing with stained silicone and a messy previous reseal, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Open a window after bathing

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Do you need bath resealing in Trelowth?

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Mould you can’t clean out

Questions to ask before you book

  • When it can be used again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Trelowth

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Trelowth use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Your questions about bath resealing in Trelowth

Are there extra charges for Trelowth?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

How much does bath resealing cost in Trelowth?

We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PL26 postcode.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
