Bath resealing in Cae'r-gwerlas, done in place

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Whether it’s an untidy old seal and old sealant that looks dirty, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What affects the price in Cae'r-gwerlas

We charge the same across the UK, including Cae'r-gwerlas. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cae'r-gwerlas. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Cae'r-gwerlas, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
