Bath resealing at your home in Heolgerrig

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and a messy previous reseal, we can help.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Merthyr Tydfil.

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Read our pricing.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Use the extractor fan

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

How we price bath resealing

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Questions from Heolgerrig

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

How long before I can shower?

Usually after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

How long does a reseal take?

Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Do you cover the whole of Merthyr Tydfil?

All of Merthyr Tydfil, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

What we are called out for in Heolgerrig

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Common reasons people in Heolgerrig contact us are:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What prep work is covered
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

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

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
