Bath resealing in Hirael, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with black spots in the silicone and leaks at the edges, we can typically put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Hirael: your questions answered

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

How long does resealing take?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

How much does bath resealing cost in Hirael?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your LL57 postcode.

Which areas do you work in?

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

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What bath resealing costs

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Hirael, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean

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

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
