How we handle bath resealing in Capel Llanilltern

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and discoloured, yellow sealant.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Capel Llanilltern, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Common problems we fix in Capel Llanilltern

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Before booking anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • When it can be used again
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before booking

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
