Bath resealing in Lowlands

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

Bath resealing in Lowlands without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and silicone coming away from the tiles, across shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Lowlands and across Torfaen.

Common questions in Lowlands

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What affects the price in Lowlands

There is no charge for travel to Lowlands. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NP44 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we are called out for in Lowlands

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Damp near the bath
  • An untidy old seal
  • Black mould in the sealant

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
