How we handle bath resealing in Tabor

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s an untidy old seal and stained silicone, we can help, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units alike.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gwynedd.

Common problems we fix in Tabor

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps in the seal

Comparing quotes

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Resealing in Tabor: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

  • Rooms protected and left tidy

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Prices and what affects them

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

For a price in Tabor, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
