How we price bath resealing

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

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

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 around two 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. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Your questions about bath resealing in Llywel

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you come to Llywel?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Llywel for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us, usually around a day.

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Llywel

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Same prices wherever you are
