Bath resealing near Llansantffraid

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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.

How we handle bath resealing in Llansantffraid

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We’re frequently asked to fix leaks at the edges and gaps in the seal, across kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Llansantffraid and across Ceredigion.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

How we price bath resealing

We charge the same across the UK, including Llansantffraid. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Common problems we fix in Llansantffraid

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Comparing quotes

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before you book

Your questions about bath resealing in Llansantffraid

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

How long does a reseal take?

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

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

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

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Is my repair covered?

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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.
