Common questions in Pencaerau

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.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What information do you need?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Typically because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pencaerau as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Do you need bath resealing in Pencaerau?

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

What bath resealing costs

We don’t charge extra for travel to Pencaerau. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Pencaerau. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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

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

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
