Trusted bath resealing in Cae-draw

Bath resealing at your home in Cae-draw

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and gaps by the taps, we can help, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Cae-draw

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Merthyr Tydfil, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Cae-draw, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

Materials we repair

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

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. 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 apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
