Bath resealing for Penyard homes

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Bath resealing at your home in Penyard

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s a messy previous reseal and black mould in the sealant, we can normally put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What we’re called out for in Penyard

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Gaps by the taps
  • An untidy old seal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

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

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

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.

Your questions about bath resealing in Penyard

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CF47 postcode.

Do you work in Penyard?

We do. Technicians travel to Penyard from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  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. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
