Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How long before I can shower?
You will get the curing time from us, typically around a day.

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

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Air the room after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Common problems we fix in Ystradowen
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Clients usually contact us about:
- An untidy old seal
