Trusted bath resealing in Pistyll

Bath resealing at your home in Pistyll

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are stained silicone and black spots in the silicone.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

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 normally the cheaper route.

What we’re called out for in Pistyll

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps by the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How to look after the finish
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pistyll use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

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

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Pistyll

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

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Let steam out after showers

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

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

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Pistyll questions

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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