Bath resealing near Dolgellau

How we handle bath resealing in Dolgellau

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about black spots in the silicone and gaps by the taps.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gwynedd.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

For landlords and businesses

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

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Resealing in Dolgellau: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes around two hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  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. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
