Need bath resealing in Pentwynberth-lwyd?

What we do, step by step

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, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Bath resealing in Pentwynberth-lwyd without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and an untidy old seal, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Air the room after use
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep bottles off the joints

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

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Common questions in Pentwynberth-lwyd

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

How long does silicone take to cure?

Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Pentwynberth-lwyd

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

Landlord and trade work in Pentwynberth-lwyd

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

What bath resealing costs

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 won’t last.

When to call us in Pentwynberth-lwyd

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Unsealed corners
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Questions to ask before you book

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the room is protected while they work
