How we handle bath resealing in Mountain Ash East

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include stained silicone and silicone smeared on tiles, across shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we cannot put right

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

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

If you manage property in Mountain Ash East, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What bath resealing costs

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we’re called out for in Mountain Ash East

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Before you book anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about bath resealing in Mountain Ash East

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Mountain Ash East.

Will it make a mess?

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

How long before I can shower?

Normally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you come to Mountain Ash East?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Mountain Ash East and the rest of Rhondda Cynon Taff. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

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 typically cheaper.
