Your questions about bath resealing in Llansilin

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

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

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you come to Llansilin?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Llansilin from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Bath resealing at your home in Llansilin

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and a messy previous reseal.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Resealing in Llansilin: why it matters

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Take a look at our pricing.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

For landlords and businesses

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

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Llansilin

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

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours, including clearing up.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What bath resealing costs

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
