How we handle bath resealing in Dolau

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We are frequently asked to fix water getting behind the bath or tray and missing sealant behind the taps, across wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Your questions about bath resealing in Dolau

Do you cover the whole of Rhondda Cynon Taff?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are there extra charges for Dolau?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Honest limits

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

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Do you need bath resealing in Dolau?

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Leaks at the edges

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  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. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

What bath resealing costs

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

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Dolau customers choose us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A fixed quote before you book
