Resealing in Aberthin: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Bath resealing in Aberthin, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for discoloured, yellow sealant and gaps in the seal, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Aberthin and across the Vale of Glamorgan.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

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

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When to call us in Aberthin

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • An untidy old seal

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Aberthin questions

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

How long does resealing take?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us, usually around a day.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
