Bath resealing near Penyrheol

Bath resealing at your home in Penyrheol

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We’re often asked to fix sealant that’s split or lifting and black spots in the silicone, across baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Open a window after bathing

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What bath resealing costs

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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

Quotes from your photos

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Penyrheol questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
