Bath resealing near Hendy-Gwyn

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Bath resealing in Hendy-Gwyn, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are missing sealant behind the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Leaks at the edges

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common questions in Hendy-Gwyn

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How long does a reseal take?

Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Generally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

What affects the price in Hendy-Gwyn

There’s no area surcharge for Hendy-Gwyn. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Read our full price list.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

How to care for the repair

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

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

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

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
