Bath resealing near Felindre

Questions from Felindre

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Felindre and the rest of Swansea. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

How do I book?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Bath resealing at your home in Felindre

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for silicone coming away from the tiles and silicone smeared on tiles, on baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Felindre, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

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

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are

When to call us in Felindre

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Before you book anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if they find more damage

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What affects the price in Felindre

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
