Bath resealing for Glanwern homes

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

How we handle bath resealing in Glanwern

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Typical jobs include sealant that’s split or lifting and old sealant that looks dirty, across shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Glanwern

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
