Bath resealing in Mount Pleasant

Bath resealing in Mount Pleasant without replacing anything

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s stained silicone and a messy previous reseal, we can help.

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

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

When to call us in Mount Pleasant

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps in the seal

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What bath resealing costs

We do not charge extra for travel to Mount Pleasant. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
