DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep the joints dry
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
What affects the price in Trethowel
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Trethowel, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Signs you need bath resealing in Trethowel
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Unsealed corners
- Gaps in the seal
- Damp near the bath
- Old sealant that looks dirty

Why it’s worth resealing in Trethowel
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Trethowel. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes around two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Trethowel: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
