Bath resealing for Rhyd-y-clafdy homes

Why it’s worth resealing in Rhyd-y-clafdy

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

About our bath resealing in Rhyd-y-clafdy

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps by the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Rhyd-y-clafdy

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Do you cover Rhyd-y-clafdy?

We do. We send a technician to Rhyd-y-clafdy for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Signs you need bath resealing in Rhyd-y-clafdy

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • An untidy old seal

Comparing quotes

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
