Bath resealing near Tai'rysgol

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

About our bath resealing in Tai'rysgol

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are discoloured, yellow sealant and an untidy old seal.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Work for landlords and builders

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

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tai'rysgol as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  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, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry

Resealing in Tai'rysgol: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Tai'rysgol questions

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Common problems we fix in Tai'rysgol

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Damp near the bath
  • Unsealed corners
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
