How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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.

Pentre questions

Which areas do you work in?

All of Rhondda Cynon Taff, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Are there extra charges for Pentre?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pentre use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

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.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

How we price bath resealing

We charge the same across the UK, including Pentre. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Pentre, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Movement in the bath or tray

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