Bath resealing in Rhydwaedlyd

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

How we handle bath resealing in Rhydwaedlyd

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are mould you can’t clean out and an untidy old seal.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What bath resealing costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

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

Common problems we fix in Rhydwaedlyd

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Stained silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Rhydwaedlyd: your questions answered

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you work in Rhydwaedlyd?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Rhydwaedlyd and the rest of Cardiff. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

How do I book?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
