Bath resealing near Lampeter

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lampeter as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How we handle bath resealing in Lampeter

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you’re dealing with stained silicone and black mould in the sealant, we can usually put it right, on baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Questions from Lampeter

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you cover the whole of Ceredigion?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What bath resealing costs

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Lampeter

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • A messy previous reseal

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
