About our bath resealing in Trickett's Cross

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and people most often call us about missing sealant behind the taps and old sealant that looks dirty.

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.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Prices and what affects them

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

The size and number of damaged areas
Access to the area
Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A picture taken from further back
Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Trickett's Cross

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How long does a reseal take?

Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

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

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

Wipe the joints dry after use
Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Replace the seal when mould sets in

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes around two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
We clean the joint and treat any mould.
We dry the joint 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.

Landlord and trade work in Trickett's Cross

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Trickett's Cross. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
