Bath resealing in Mumbles without replacing anything

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are silicone smeared on tiles and damp near the bath.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Mumbles as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Mumbles

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • An untidy old seal

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mumbles

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

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What affects the price in Mumbles

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most clients in Mumbles get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

FAQs for Mumbles

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Mumbles and the rest of Swansea. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
