About our bath resealing in Bryn-y-waen

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and people most often call us about an untidy old seal and water getting behind the bath or tray.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Bryn-y-waen and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Air the room after use

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Why it’s worth resealing in Bryn-y-waen

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  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

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your LL56 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Bryn-y-waen

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Unsealed corners
  • Leaks at the edges

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

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

Questions from Bryn-y-waen

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you cover Bryn-y-waen?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bryn-y-waen for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Typically because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
