How we handle bath resealing in Cwmcarn

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and silicone smeared on tiles, we can normally put it right, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures alike.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Cwmcarn

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Cwmcarn?

Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What affects the price in Cwmcarn

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

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cwmcarn. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Resealing in Cwmcarn: why it matters

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Do you need bath resealing in Cwmcarn?

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Leaks at the edges
  • An untidy old seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Cwmcarn, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A flexing bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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