Landlord and trade work in Wernffrwd

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Signs you need bath resealing in Wernffrwd

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Damp near the bath
  • A messy previous reseal

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before booking

What bath resealing costs

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Wernffrwd: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
