Resealing in Bwlch: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Whether it’s black mould in the sealant and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can generally put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms alike.

FAQs for Bwlch

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you cover Bwlch?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Bwlch. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What bath resealing costs

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

The colour and finish to match
How many items we do on one visit
How many areas need work
The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

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

Any earlier repairs or coatings
A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Give the seal a regular clean
Keep the joints dry
Replace the seal when mould sets in

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. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath.

All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
We clean the joint and treat any mould.
The joint is dried thoroughly.
We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

Let us know about parking or access
Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
