Bath resealing in Cwm Gwyn

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

How we handle bath resealing in Cwm Gwyn

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. Whether it’s stained silicone and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Cwm Gwyn as everywhere else we work.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Your questions about bath resealing in Cwm Gwyn

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hidden water damage

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cwm Gwyn

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cwm Gwyn use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Cwm Gwyn, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Signs you need bath resealing in Cwm Gwyn

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Leaks at the edges
  • A messy previous reseal

Before booking anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

What affects the price in Cwm Gwyn

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cwm Gwyn. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
