Bath resealing at your home in Carreghofa

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and silicone smeared on tiles, we can normally put it right, on baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Carreghofa and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

Can I fix it myself?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Air the room after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SY22 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Carreghofa

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

FAQs for Carreghofa

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Powys. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

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

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

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
