Bath resealing near Four Crosses

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Bath resealing in Four Crosses, done in place

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. We regularly repair baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and mould you can’t clean out.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Your questions about bath resealing in Four Crosses

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Do you cover Four Crosses?

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

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

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.

Signs you need bath resealing in Four Crosses

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Damp near the bath
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Before you book anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlords, agents and businesses in Four Crosses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Powys and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

Most customers in Four Crosses get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
