Bath resealing at your home in Pentre-llyn

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our technicians work on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are mould you can’t clean out and damp near the bath.

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

Common problems we fix in Pentre-llyn

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • An untidy old seal

Before booking anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before booking

Why it’s worth resealing in Pentre-llyn

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

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

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What affects the price in Pentre-llyn

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Open a window after bathing

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray
