Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Everything repaired in place

How to look after the repair

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

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep the joints dry

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Llanrhidian Higher: your questions answered

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How long does resealing take?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you cover Llanrhidian Higher?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Llanrhidian Higher from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

What affects the price in Llanrhidian Higher

There is no charge for travel to Llanrhidian Higher. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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