All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Common call-outs are for mould you can’t clean out and gaps by the taps, in basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Presteigne and across Powys.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep the joints dry

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

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

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What affects the price in Presteigne

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Presteigne: your questions answered

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Presteigne is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

If you are in Presteigne and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Do you need bath resealing in Presteigne?

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • A messy previous reseal

What to look for in a quote

  • How to care for the finish
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your photos
