Bath resealing in Llanishen

About our bath resealing in Llanishen

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are a messy previous reseal and silicone coming away from the tiles.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep the joints dry

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

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.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes around two hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common problems we fix in Llanishen

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Stained silicone
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • An untidy old seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Llanishen questions

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Usually because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

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

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Are there extra charges for Llanishen?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you work in Llanishen?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Llanishen. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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 photos, as it can add time.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
