Landlord and trade work in Cynwyl Elfed

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

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

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Common problems we fix in Cynwyl Elfed

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.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Your questions about bath resealing in Cynwyl Elfed

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How long does resealing take?

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

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise 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.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
