Bath resealing for Hengoed homes

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Your questions about bath resealing in Hengoed

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

For landlords and businesses

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

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Hidden water damage

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are 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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

Do you need bath resealing in Hengoed?

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Leaks at the edges
