Bath resealing near Sain Dunwyd

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Bath resealing at your home in Sain Dunwyd

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s unsealed corners and leaks at the edges, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Your questions about bath resealing in Sain Dunwyd

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
