Bath resealing for Aberporth homes

How we handle bath resealing in Aberporth

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

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

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

FAQs for Aberporth

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Are there extra charges for Aberporth?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Ceredigion and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
