Bath resealing near New Tredegar

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

About our bath resealing in New Tredegar

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for gaps by the taps and gaps in the seal, across shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in New Tredegar and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in New Tredegar, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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.

Resealing in New Tredegar: 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. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our prices page.

When to call us in New Tredegar

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Gaps by the taps
  • An untidy old seal
  • Damp near the bath

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who turns up on the day
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in New Tredegar

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
