Bath resealing in Cil-ffriw

About our bath resealing in Cil-ffriw

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are unsealed corners and silicone smeared on tiles.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Neath Port Talbot.

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

What affects the price in Cil-ffriw

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cil-ffriw as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Cil-ffriw: your questions answered

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your SA10 postcode.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time, typically around a day.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Let steam out after showers

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes around two hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
