Trusted bath resealing in Craig-y-penrhyn

Bath resealing at your home in Craig-y-penrhyn

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and leaks at the edges, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What we’re called out for in Craig-y-penrhyn

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black spots in the silicone

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.

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 won’t stop us repairing it. 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, and the work is guaranteed.

Resealing in Craig-y-penrhyn: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why Craig-y-penrhyn clients choose us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our full price list.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A flexing bath

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

Materials we repair

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

FAQs for Craig-y-penrhyn

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Powys. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How long will it take?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
