Bath resealing in Pontlliw

Bath resealing in Pontlliw, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and people most often call us about unsealed corners and a messy previous reseal.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow about two hours for a bath.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap 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

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Resealing in Pontlliw: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Pontlliw clients choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it

Read our prices page.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Can I fix it myself?

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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
