Bath resealing for Ffrwd homes

Bath resealing at your home in Ffrwd

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with gaps in the seal and mould you can’t clean out, we can typically put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Ffrwd

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

People generally call us after spotting something like this:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Questions from Ffrwd

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Generally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Ffrwd?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your LL12 postcode.

What affects the price in Ffrwd

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair
