Bath resealing in St Mellons, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for missing sealant behind the taps and leaks at the edges, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow around two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

FAQs for St Mellons

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in St Mellons?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlord and trade work in St Mellons

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Mellons use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Hidden water damage

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in St Mellons

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

When to call us in St Mellons

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

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black spots in the silicone
