Bath resealing in Borth-y-Gest without replacing anything

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. If you’re dealing with damp near the bath and a messy previous reseal, we can normally put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Borth-y-Gest use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

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

Resealing in Borth-y-Gest: why it matters

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our full price list.

What affects the price in Borth-y-Gest

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Borth-y-Gest, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

What we are called out for in Borth-y-Gest

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Mould you can’t clean out

Before booking anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to around two hours, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
