Bath resealing near St Dials

Do you need bath resealing in St Dials?

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Stained silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Questions to ask before booking

  • What preparation is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Bath resealing in St Dials without replacing anything

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about gaps by the taps and leaks at the edges.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Torfaen and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Why it’s worth resealing in St Dials

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Questions from St Dials

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do you cover St Dials?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
