What affects the price in Nant-y-cafn

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Use the extractor fan

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Why it’s worth resealing in Nant-y-cafn

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Nant-y-cafn. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Common questions in Nant-y-cafn

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How much does bath resealing cost in Nant-y-cafn?

Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

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

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Can you quote from photos?

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

How long before I can shower?

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Nant-y-cafn

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
