Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Bath resealing at your home in Gwavas

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about black mould in the sealant and sealant that’s split or lifting.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Do you need bath resealing in Gwavas?

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Stained silicone
  • Black mould in the sealant

Gwavas questions

How long will it take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you cover Gwavas?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Gwavas from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gwavas use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Gwavas

  • Wet rooms

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • No need to remove anything
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
