Bath resealing in Sketty

How we handle bath resealing in Sketty

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s silicone smeared on tiles and damp near the bath, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sketty

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Sketty

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You’ll get the curing time from us, generally around a day.

How long does resealing take?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Sketty and the rest of Swansea. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Signs you need bath resealing in Sketty

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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

What affects the price in Sketty

We don’t charge extra for travel to Sketty. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Sketty. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

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

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

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Sketty

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

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
