Bath resealing in Tan-y-foel

Do you need bath resealing in Tan-y-foel?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Unsealed corners
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Bath resealing at your home in Tan-y-foel

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Typical jobs include a messy previous reseal and black spots in the silicone, in baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tan-y-foel

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Questions from Tan-y-foel

How long before I can shower?

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

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
