Bath resealing near Pwll-y-glaw

Bath resealing at your home in Pwll-y-glaw

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include silicone coming away from the tiles and stained silicone, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Prices and what affects them

There is no charge for travel to Pwll-y-glaw. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Do you need bath resealing in Pwll-y-glaw?

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Leaks at the edges

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • What prep work is covered
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before booking

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Work done at your home or business

See our prices page.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep the joints dry

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A flexing bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Pwll-y-glaw

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Do you cover the whole of Neath Port Talbot?

The entire UK, including all of Neath Port Talbot. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
