Bath resealing near Llanelli

About our bath resealing in Llanelli

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone coming away from the tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Common questions in Llanelli

How long does resealing take?

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

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Llanelli use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

When to call us in Llanelli

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

The things customers typically mention when they call include:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Stained silicone
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

  • How the room is protected while they work
