Bath resealing in Croeserw

How we handle bath resealing in Croeserw

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and damp near the bath.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Croeserw as everywhere else we work.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Croeserw

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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Common questions in Croeserw

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you come to Croeserw?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Croeserw from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What we are called out for in Croeserw

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Look out for any of the following:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black spots in the silicone

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How soon you can use it again
