Resealing in Pillgwenlly: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One visit for most repairs

Bath resealing in Pillgwenlly, done in place

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. If you are dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and unsealed corners, we can typically put it right.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep the joints dry

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Pillgwenlly questions

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Do you come to Pillgwenlly?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Pillgwenlly from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

What we are called out for in Pillgwenlly

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Pillgwenlly. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pillgwenlly as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
