About our bath resealing in Bwlchgwyn

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about damp near the bath and silicone smeared on tiles.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Open a window after bathing

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

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

What affects the price in Bwlchgwyn

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Signs you need bath resealing in Bwlchgwyn

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through 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 ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Common questions in Bwlchgwyn

How long will it take?

Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
