Bath resealing for Blackmill homes

How we handle bath resealing in Blackmill

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and gaps by the taps, we can help, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Blackmill clients choose us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our prices page.

How we price bath resealing

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

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Your questions about bath resealing in Blackmill

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Bridgend.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Blackmill?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

What do you need from me?

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

Do you need bath resealing in Blackmill?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Unsealed corners
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • A messy previous reseal

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
