When to call us in Tresavean

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Our hiring checklist

About our bath resealing in Tresavean

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are missing sealant behind the taps and black spots in the silicone.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Tresavean

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Tresavean. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Common questions in Tresavean

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

How long does resealing take?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Are there extra charges for Tresavean?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TR16 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
