How we handle bath resealing in Old Radnor

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you are dealing with damp near the bath and silicone smeared on tiles, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Resealing in Old Radnor: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  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 prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Hidden water damage

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

What we are called out for in Old Radnor

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

People generally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Unsealed corners
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How the colour is matched
  • What prep work is covered
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

Old Radnor: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

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

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Powys.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your LD8 postcode.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Typically after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
