Bath resealing for Bontnewydd homes

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

How we handle bath resealing in Bontnewydd

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and gaps in the seal, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

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

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we are called out for in Bontnewydd

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Look out for these signs:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Questions from Bontnewydd

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

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

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Bontnewydd?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you cover the whole of Gwynedd?

The whole UK, including all of Gwynedd. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time, generally around a day.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

If you are in Bontnewydd and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Gwynedd and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

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 to keep costs down.

Why it’s worth resealing in Bontnewydd

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bontnewydd. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, including clearing up.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
