Bath resealing near Treskerby

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.

Baths

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

How we handle bath resealing in Treskerby

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We are frequently asked to fix black mould in the sealant and an untidy old seal, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Treskerby and across Cornwall.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix 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.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

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.

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

What bath resealing costs

There is no area surcharge for Treskerby. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Your questions about bath resealing in Treskerby

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You’ll get the curing time from us, generally around a day.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

How much does bath resealing cost in Treskerby?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Signs you need bath resealing in Treskerby

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Unsealed corners
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Mould you cannot clean out

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
