Bath resealing near Ffynnon Taf

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Bath resealing in Ffynnon Taf without replacing anything

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Typical jobs include gaps in the seal and old sealant that looks dirty, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ffynnon Taf as everywhere else we work.

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.

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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath. We leave the room clean.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

When to call us in Ffynnon Taf

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Mould you can’t clean out

Before booking anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

FAQs for Ffynnon Taf

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You’ll get the curing time from us, usually around a day.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

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

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
