Bath resealing near New Radnor

How we handle bath resealing in New Radnor

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for an untidy old seal and damp near the bath, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.

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

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Resealing in New Radnor: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why New Radnor customers choose us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • No extra charge for your area

New Radnor: your questions answered

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the curing time from us.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Landlord and trade work in New Radnor

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around New Radnor, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What we are called out for in New Radnor

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • A messy previous reseal

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

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

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
