Bath resealing for Cyfarthfa homes

Bath resealing in Cyfarthfa, done in place

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. If you’re dealing with gaps by the taps and leaks at the edges, we can help.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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.

Do you need bath resealing in Cyfarthfa?

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Damp near the bath
  • Stained silicone
