Bath resealing near Oakdale

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Open a window after bathing

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Bath resealing in Oakdale without replacing anything

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and black spots in the silicone, we can help, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Oakdale

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why Oakdale customers choose us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our prices page.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Jobs in NP12 and NP11 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. Whether you live on Pen-y-Fan Way, Maes-y-Garn Road and Manmoel Court or a nearby road, a technician can come to you. We also travel to Croespenmaen (1 mile east), Kendon (1 mile east), The Rock (1 mile west), Gwrhay (1 mile north-west) and Penmaen (1 mile south-west).

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Oakdale: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

How much does bath resealing cost in Oakdale?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How long will it take?

Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Common problems we fix in Oakdale

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • A messy previous reseal

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What prep work is covered
