Bath resealing in Penrhiwceiber

Bath resealing in Penrhiwceiber without replacing anything

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We are often asked to fix missing sealant behind the taps and leaks at the edges, in basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Your questions about bath resealing in Penrhiwceiber

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Will you leave a mess?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What does bath resealing cost?

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

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Rhondda Cynon Taff.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us, generally around a day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

When to call us in Penrhiwceiber

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Leaks at the edges

Is resealing worth it?

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Penrhiwceiber as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
