Bath resealing in Rachub, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you are dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and black mould in the sealant, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

FAQs for Rachub

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Rachub?

Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Gwynedd.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Signs you need bath resealing in Rachub

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

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Unsealed corners
  • Stained silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Rachub

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What bath resealing costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Rachub. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.

  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

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
