Bath resealing near Llwchwr

Bath resealing in Llwchwr without replacing anything

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We regularly repair wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about a messy previous reseal and water getting behind the bath or tray.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Questions from Llwchwr

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly 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, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What we’re called out for in Llwchwr

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Damp near the bath
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Prices and what affects them

There’s no charge for travel to Llwchwr. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around Llwchwr, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
