About our bath resealing in Caerau
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with black mould in the sealant and gaps by the taps, we can help, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Open a window after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Caerau
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Caerau as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cardiff and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hidden water damage
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why Caerau customers choose us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No extra charge for your area
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Fixed prices from your pictures

How we price bath resealing
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Caerau questions
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
