Bath resealing at your home in Ashvale

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We are often asked to fix damp near the bath and black mould in the sealant, across baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.

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

Resealing in Ashvale: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Open a window after bathing

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Your questions about bath resealing in Ashvale

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Can landlords book you?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you cover Ashvale?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Ashvale. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, 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 clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
