Trusted bath resealing in Pontymister

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

Bath resealing in Pontymister, done in place

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are stained silicone and leaks at the edges.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Common questions in Pontymister

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

Most customers in Pontymister get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Pontymister

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

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common problems we fix in Pontymister

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Unsealed corners

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What prep work is covered
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected
