About our bath resealing in Llwynhendy

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for old sealant that looks dirty and a messy previous reseal, across baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

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

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Llwynhendy

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

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  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 care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Air the room after use

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Llwynhendy

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

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What affects the price in Llwynhendy

We do not charge extra for travel to Llwynhendy. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.
