How we handle bath resealing in Trewoon

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you’re dealing with an untidy old seal and old sealant that looks dirty, we can usually put it right.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Trewoon: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Are there extra charges for Trewoon?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What information do you need?

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

If you manage property in Trewoon, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Common problems we fix in Trewoon

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure
