How we handle bath resealing in Aberystwyth

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s unsealed corners and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

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

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Aberystwyth, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

When to call us in Aberystwyth

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Stained silicone
  • Leaks at the edges

Before booking anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How changes to the job are handled

  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Why it’s worth resealing in Aberystwyth

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A fixed quote before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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