Bath resealing near Dilwyn

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Bath resealing in Dilwyn, done in place

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you are dealing with mould you can’t clean out and damp near the bath, we can generally put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath

Do you need bath resealing in Dilwyn?

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

FAQs for Dilwyn

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time, usually around a day.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Air the room after use

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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