Trusted bath resealing in Garth Owen

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. 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.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • No need to remove anything
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What we are called out for in Garth Owen

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Black mould in the sealant

Before booking anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes around two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Landlords, agents and businesses in Garth Owen

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How we price bath resealing

There’s no charge for travel to Garth Owen. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You don’t 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 reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Use the extractor fan

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray

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

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
