Bath resealing in Troutbeck without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about a messy previous reseal and gaps in the seal.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Resealing in Troutbeck: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work

How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Advice
What affects the price in Troutbeck
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
FAQs for Troutbeck
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Typically because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
