Trusted bath resealing in Llantwit Fardre

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How we handle bath resealing in Llantwit Fardre

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s leaks at the edges and stained silicone, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Prices and what affects them

We do not charge extra for travel to Llantwit Fardre. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Signs you need bath resealing in Llantwit Fardre

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

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours.

  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. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Your questions about bath resealing in Llantwit Fardre

Can new silicone go over old?

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

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

How long does resealing take?

Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Landlord and trade work in Llantwit Fardre

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Materials we work on in Llantwit Fardre

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

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
