- Gaps by the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Damp near the bath
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A flexing bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone

About our bath resealing in Tripwell
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. If you are dealing with mould you can’t clean out and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can typically put it right.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders
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.
Builders use us to fix snagging 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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Store bottles on a shelf
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Why reseal now?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Tripwell, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Tripwell
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Tripwell included. Travel is included in the price.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across the Shetland Islands.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
