About our bath resealing in Aberbargoed

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. If you’re dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and gaps in the seal, we can typically put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours, tidy-up included.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Aberbargoed

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

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

Questions from Aberbargoed

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Aberbargoed and the rest of Caerphilly. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you come to Aberbargoed?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Aberbargoed for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Do you need bath resealing in Aberbargoed?

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • An untidy old seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Choosing a repair company

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. 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.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Store bottles on a shelf

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
