Bath resealing in Dyfaty, done in place

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We’re often asked to fix sealant that’s split or lifting and discoloured, yellow sealant, across baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Dyfaty and across Swansea.

Resealing in Dyfaty: why it matters

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We don’t add 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.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Air the room after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What affects the price in Dyfaty

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Dyfaty questions

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Are there extra charges for Dyfaty?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes around two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
