Trusted bath resealing in Efail Fach

Bath resealing in Efail Fach without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and people most often call us about sealant that’s split or lifting and stained silicone.

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

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

FAQs for Efail Fach

How long does a reseal take?

Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Efail Fach use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
