Bath resealing in Trimdon without replacing anything

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, in a neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and an untidy old seal, we can help.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What affects the price in Trimdon

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

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

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Trimdon, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

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

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Open a window after bathing

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, 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 a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Trimdon

Why it’s worth resealing in Trimdon

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why Trimdon customers choose us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Questions from Trimdon

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you cover Trimdon?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Trimdon for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you need bath resealing in Trimdon?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Stained silicone
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Damp near the bath

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if they find more damage
