Bath resealing for Abercynon homes

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Air the room after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Bath resealing in Abercynon, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for gaps by the taps and old sealant that looks dirty, across baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Rhondda Cynon Taff.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes around two hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not 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 risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Questions from Abercynon

How long does resealing take?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Abercynon?

We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

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

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Abercynon

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

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Abercynon use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most customers in Abercynon get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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