For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Penllwyn

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • An untidy old seal

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material

If you are in Penllwyn and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Penllwyn

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Resealing in Penllwyn: why it matters

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One visit for most repairs

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
