Prices and what affects them

There’s no charge for travel to Abertridwr. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

About our bath resealing in Abertridwr

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are gaps in the seal and old sealant that looks dirty.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Abertridwr and across Caerphilly.

What we’re called out for in Abertridwr

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Abertridwr: your questions answered

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you come to Abertridwr?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Abertridwr. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Air the room after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A fixed quote before booking

See our prices page.

The process

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  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

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
