Bath resealing near Meifod

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What affects the price in Meifod

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There’s 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.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When to call us in Meifod

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Questions from Meifod

How long does a reseal take?

Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Can landlords book you?

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

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

How long before I can shower?

Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure 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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
