Bath resealing at your home in Cefn Cross

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s sealant that’s split or lifting and stained silicone, we can typically put it right.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price bath resealing

You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Your questions about bath resealing in Cefn Cross

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How long will it take?

Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Do you come to Cefn Cross?

We do. Technicians travel to Cefn Cross from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
