Trusted bath resealing in Crymlyn Burrows

Bath resealing in Crymlyn Burrows without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about silicone coming away from the tiles and black spots in the silicone.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we are called out for in Crymlyn Burrows

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Stained silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Black mould in the sealant

10 questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Questions from Crymlyn Burrows

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

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.

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Crymlyn Burrows, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

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. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
