Questions from Cilybebyll

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How long does a reseal take?

Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Bath resealing at your home in Cilybebyll

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms, and people most often call us about gaps by the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  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. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What affects the price in Cilybebyll

There’s no charge for travel to Cilybebyll. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Resealing in Cilybebyll: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Cilybebyll clients choose us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A flexing bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Cilybebyll

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

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Air the room after use

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
