Bath resealing at your home in Rhostryfan

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include old sealant that looks dirty and black spots in the silicone, in baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.

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

What bath resealing costs

We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

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

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Let steam out after showers

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Rhostryfan: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

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. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Do you come to Rhostryfan?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Rhostryfan for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
