Bath resealing in Pen-y-coedcae, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are damp near the bath and gaps by the taps.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • 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.

Materials we work on in Pen-y-coedcae

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

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Let steam out after showers

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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

What affects the price in Pen-y-coedcae

We do not charge extra for travel to Pen-y-coedcae. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pen-y-coedcae use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to compare quotes

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the area is dry

Questions from Pen-y-coedcae

Are you accredited?

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

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
