Bath resealing in Trethurgy without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and discoloured, yellow sealant.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Prices and what affects them
We do not charge extra for travel to Trethurgy. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

When to call us in Trethurgy
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Stained silicone
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Gaps by the taps
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually do the work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Trethurgy use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
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.
