Landlord and trade work in Criccieth

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Criccieth use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Bath resealing in Criccieth, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are old sealant that looks dirty and mould you can’t clean out.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  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

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Signs you need bath resealing in Criccieth

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

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Stained silicone

Questions to ask before you book

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended

  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 usually the cheaper route.

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.

Common questions in Criccieth

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

How long does a reseal take?

Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Do you cover the entire of Gwynedd?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Do you cover Criccieth?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Criccieth and the rest of Gwynedd. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Why it’s worth resealing in Criccieth

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One visit for most repairs

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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

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

How we price bath resealing

We do not charge extra for travel to Criccieth. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
