What affects the price in Trenale

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

About our bath resealing in Trenale

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath or tray and unsealed corners, across baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Trenale and across Cornwall.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, 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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Landlord and trade work in Trenale

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Trenale as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Trenale questions

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Do you cover Trenale?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Trenale for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How much does bath resealing cost in Trenale?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Open a window after bathing

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
