How we handle bath resealing in Michaelston-y-Fedw

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the sealant and an untidy old seal.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Your questions about bath resealing in Michaelston-y-Fedw

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can landlords book you?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Michaelston-y-Fedw

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

When to call us in Michaelston-y-Fedw

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

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Mould you cannot clean out

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Who will actually do the work

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep the joints dry

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
