Bath resealing in Radnor

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

About our bath resealing in Radnor

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are water getting behind the bath or tray and black spots in the silicone.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common questions in Radnor

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time, generally around a day.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Are there extra charges for Radnor?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Radnor. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Air the room after use

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

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

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
