Bath resealing in Gibbet Hill, done in place

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s silicone smeared on tiles and black mould in the sealant, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gibbet Hill

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Gibbet Hill: your questions answered

How long will it take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the curing time from us, generally around a day.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Powys.

Why it’s worth resealing in Gibbet Hill

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes around two hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with 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. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Do you need bath resealing in Gibbet Hill?

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Common reasons people in Gibbet Hill contact us include:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

Honest limits

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

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Gibbet Hill

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
