DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Bath resealing at your home in Kidwelly

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Common call-outs are for discoloured, yellow sealant and silicone coming away from the tiles, across shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms.

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Kidwelly

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is it messy?

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

Are there extra charges for Kidwelly?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Air the room after use
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What affects the price in Kidwelly

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Kidwelly, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos 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.
