Bath resealing at your home in Trudoxhill

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and water getting behind the bath or tray, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

How we price bath resealing

There’s no area surcharge for Trudoxhill. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BA11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

What we work on

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes around two hours. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Common questions in Trudoxhill

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

How much does bath resealing cost in Trudoxhill?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Landlord and trade work in Trudoxhill

Rental properties take more wear, 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, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. There are no surprise 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.
