10 questions to ask before booking

Bath resealing in Trevia without replacing anything

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about unsealed corners and silicone smeared on tiles.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Trevia: your questions answered

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time, typically around a day.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

How long will it take?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Landlord and trade work in Trevia

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Trevia use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • No need to remove anything

See our prices page.

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

Most customers in Trevia get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
