How we handle bath resealing in Pentwyn

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. If you are dealing with discoloured, yellow sealant and missing sealant behind the taps, we can normally put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Your questions about bath resealing in Pentwyn

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Honest limits

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

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

For landlords and businesses

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

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

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

When to call us in Pentwyn

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

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

What bath resealing costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Pentwyn. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
