About our bath resealing in Pen-pedair-heol

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s damp near the bath and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Your questions about bath resealing in Pen-pedair-heol

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

How long will it take?

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

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your CF82 postcode.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Landlord and trade work in Pen-pedair-heol

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For anyone letting property in or around Pen-pedair-heol, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Common problems we fix in Pen-pedair-heol

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Stained silicone
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Damp near the bath

Comparing quotes

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
