Bath resealing in Y Gurnos

How we handle bath resealing in Y Gurnos

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Typical jobs include discoloured, yellow sealant and a messy previous reseal, on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Common problems we fix in Y Gurnos

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • An untidy old seal

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

There is no area surcharge for Y Gurnos. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Landlords, agents and businesses in Y Gurnos

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow around two hours.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
