FAQs for Aberdovey

Is my repair covered?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Bath resealing in Aberdovey without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that’s split or lifting and stained silicone.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  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. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Aberdovey, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Landlord and trade work in Aberdovey

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Aberdovey use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Hidden water damage
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Aberdovey

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Black mould in the sealant

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

What bath resealing costs

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

There is 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 quote.
