Bath Resealing for Trusham homes
We travel to Trusham for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- A messy previous reseal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Bath resealing in Trusham, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about an untidy old seal and discoloured, yellow sealant.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

When to call us in Trusham
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- An untidy old seal
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How your room will be protected
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Air the room after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Keep the joints dry
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes around two hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access

Landlord and trade work in Trusham
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Trusham questions
Are there extra charges for Trusham?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you cover Trusham?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Trusham. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Movement in the bath or tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
