Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Let steam out after showers

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we are called out for in St Athan

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Questions to ask before booking

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No extra charge for your area

Take a look at our pricing.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Athan as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • 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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs

If you’re in St Athan and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Your questions about bath resealing in St Athan

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Typically because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Do you come to St Athan?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to St Athan for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Do you cover the whole of the Vale of Glamorgan?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

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

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
