Bath resealing for Cowbridge homes

Bath resealing in Cowbridge, done in place

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Common call-outs are for missing sealant behind the taps and old sealant that looks dirty, across shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Do you need bath resealing in Cowbridge?

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about bath resealing in Cowbridge

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How long will it take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Cowbridge.

Do you cover Cowbridge?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Cowbridge. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

Prices and what affects them

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

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