Bath resealing for Pwllgwaun homes

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

What we do, step by step

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

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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

What affects the price in Pwllgwaun

We charge the same across the UK, including Pwllgwaun. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Questions from Pwllgwaun

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Are there extra charges for Pwllgwaun?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How long will it take?

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

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time, usually around a day.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Hidden water damage

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Pwllgwaun

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble 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 many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Common problems we fix in Pwllgwaun

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
