Bath resealing in Adamsdown

Bath resealing in Adamsdown without replacing anything

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and sealant that’s split or lifting, in basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Adamsdown and across Cardiff.

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Air the room after use

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

Resealing in Adamsdown: why it matters

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No need to remove anything

What we’re called out for in Adamsdown

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

The things customers typically mention when they call include:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • An untidy old seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Questions to ask before you book

  • How your room will be protected
  • Who turns up on the day
  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
