How we handle bath resealing in Aberkenfig

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about silicone smeared on tiles and unsealed corners.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bridgend.

Landlord and trade work in Aberkenfig

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Aberkenfig use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

How we price bath resealing

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Air the room after use
  • Use the extractor fan

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Aberkenfig.

Do you cover Aberkenfig?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Aberkenfig. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is the work guaranteed?

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