- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps by the taps
- Damp near the bath
How we handle bath resealing in Trewen
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about black spots in the silicone and leaks at the edges.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Herefordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Keep the joints dry
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Most clients in Trewen get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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.
Your questions about bath resealing in Trewen
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Herefordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
How long will it take?
Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
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.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Why reseal now?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
