Bath resealing in Trowbridge

How we price bath resealing

We charge the same across the UK, including Trowbridge. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

For a price in Trowbridge, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Bath resealing at your home in Trowbridge

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We’re frequently asked to fix old sealant that looks dirty and silicone smeared on tiles, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.

When to call us in Trowbridge

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

People generally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Gaps in the seal
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Before booking anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

For landlords and businesses

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

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our prices page.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Air the room after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Your questions about bath resealing in Trowbridge

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Typically after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

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