Bath resealing in Goytre without replacing anything

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about leaks at the edges and discoloured, yellow sealant.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  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
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Signs you need bath resealing in Goytre

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Leaks at the edges

What to look for in a quote

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How your room will be protected
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms
  • Baths

Goytre: your questions answered

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can new silicone go over old?

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

How long does resealing take?

Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SA13 postcode.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How long does silicone take to cure?

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

Do you cover the whole of Neath Port Talbot?

Everywhere in the UK, Goytre included. Travel is included in the price.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Landlord and trade work in Goytre

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Neath Port Talbot and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Goytre as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
