DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

About our bath resealing in Cwrt-y-defaid

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include stained silicone and silicone smeared on tiles, in kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cwrt-y-defaid. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

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

Cwrt-y-defaid questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

Materials we work on in Cwrt-y-defaid

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

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
