What affects the price in Groes-wen

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

  • Access to the area

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

About our bath resealing in Groes-wen

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about stained silicone and silicone coming away from the tiles.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Groes-wen

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Groes-wen use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What we’re called out for in Groes-wen

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • An untidy old seal
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before you book

What your bath or shower is made of matters

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, with the joint fully dried first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

FAQs for Groes-wen

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Usually because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Do you cover the entire of Cardiff?

All of Cardiff, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
