DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Questions from Pontllanfraith
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you come to Pontllanfraith?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Pontllanfraith and the rest of Caerphilly. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long does resealing take?
Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are there extra charges for Pontllanfraith?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Different materials, different repairs
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, with the joint fully dried first.
Prices and what affects them
There is no charge for travel to Pontllanfraith. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
Most clients in Pontllanfraith get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Let steam out after showers
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
