How we handle bath resealing in Llanmartin

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our technicians work on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and gaps by the taps.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Use the extractor fan

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

What affects the price in Llanmartin

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Llanmartin questions

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Llanmartin?

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Llanmartin, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, 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. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to compare quotes

Resealing in Llanmartin: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
