How we handle bath resealing in Penlan

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths, and the jobs we see most are silicone coming away from the tiles and gaps by the taps.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When to call us in Penlan

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Damp near the bath
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

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

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Landlord and trade work in Penlan

If you manage property in Penlan, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Questions from Penlan

Do you cover Penlan?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Penlan and the rest of Swansea. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Swansea. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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