Trusted bath resealing in Southville

Bath resealing at your home in Southville

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and old sealant that looks dirty, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath resealing in Southville

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Black spots in the silicone

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Common questions in Southville

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Do you work in Southville?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Southville and the rest of Torfaen. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

How long will it take?

Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Southville

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage
  • A flexing bath

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

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
