Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Air the room after use
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Signs you need bath resealing in Merthyr Mawr

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Damp near the bath

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

Merthyr Mawr: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What areas do you cover?

All of Bridgend, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Normally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Merthyr Mawr. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
