Choosing a repair company

How we handle bath resealing in Minffordd

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with black mould in the sealant and silicone smeared on tiles, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Minffordd and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. 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

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Minffordd use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep the joints dry

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Hidden water damage

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Minffordd

  • Wet rooms

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Minffordd

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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