Bath resealing near Margam Moors

Your questions about bath resealing in Margam Moors

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the curing time from us, typically around a day.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Bath resealing in Margam Moors without replacing anything

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hidden water damage

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

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

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
