Bath resealing in Penmorfa

About our bath resealing in Penmorfa

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with leaks at the edges and unsealed corners, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Penmorfa

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

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. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our prices page.

Common problems we fix in Penmorfa

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Damp near the bath

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before you book

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Your questions about bath resealing in Penmorfa

Will there be a smell?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Penmorfa.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

What affects the price in Penmorfa

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LL49 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Let steam out after showers

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

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