Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Borth use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Borth, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A flexing bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Do you need bath resealing in Borth?

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Unsealed corners
  • Gaps in the seal
  • An untidy old seal

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Borth

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will it make a mess?

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

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

How we price bath resealing

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Borth. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
