Bath resealing for Maindy homes

Bath resealing in Maindy without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and gaps in the seal, across wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

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

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours. We leave the room clean.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice

Common problems we fix in Maindy

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Common reasons people in Maindy contact us are:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, 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.

Maindy questions

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time, generally around a day.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Prices and what affects them

We don’t charge extra for travel to Maindy. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Maindy

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.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Maindy use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
