Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Bath resealing in Caerau without replacing anything

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are gaps by the taps and damp near the bath.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  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, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in Caerau

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Caerau as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Resealing in Caerau: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

What your quote should include

FAQs for Caerau

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
