About our bath resealing in Llyswyrny

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. If you are dealing with leaks at the edges and black spots in the silicone, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Vale of Glamorgan.

Landlord and trade work in Llyswyrny

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Llyswyrny as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  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

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Hidden water damage

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

What affects the price in Llyswyrny

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

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 price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

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

Llyswyrny: your questions answered

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
