About our bath resealing in Tresamble

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Typical jobs include old sealant that looks dirty and missing sealant behind the taps, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the price in Tresamble

There’s no charge for travel to Tresamble. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You don’t 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 reply with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TR4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.

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 a repair is not the answer

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

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

Landlord and trade work in Tresamble

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tresamble use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
