Bath resealing for Felin-Gerrig homes

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the area is dry

Bath resealing in Felin-Gerrig without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We are frequently asked to fix black mould in the sealant and stained silicone, in basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

FAQs for Felin-Gerrig

Is there a guarantee?

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

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Felin-Gerrig?

We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SY20 postcode.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can you quote from photos?

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

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Felin-Gerrig

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

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What bath resealing costs

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
