Bath resealing near Aberfan

How we handle bath resealing in Aberfan

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath or tray and sealant that’s split or lifting.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Aberfan and across Merthyr Tydfil.

Resealing in Aberfan: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, 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 combining items on one visit brings it down.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Common problems we fix in Aberfan

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • A messy previous reseal

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
